Research Overview
We develop and apply mathematical models and computational tools to study problems in Applied Mechanics. Areas of interest include Cardiovascular Mechanics, Complex Fluids Rheology, and Fluid Mechanics.
Research Highlights
Efficient software to detect atherosclerosis:
Sequential code developed for blood flow is time-consuming and unsuited for use by doctors. We seek to enhance the speed of the sequential code by parallelism and develop a workflow using patient CT scans.
Software for blood flow with clot formation in a flexible-walled artery:
We seek to demonstrate the potential of commercial software for clinical use by testing it for a specific fluid-solid interaction problem.
A new fluid model that mimics viscoplastic fluids:
Conventional viscoplastic “fluid” models have a yield stress term that contradicts the definition of a fluid. They are also difficult to implement in 3D flows. The new fluid model proposed shows promising results in classical BVPs and has been used in a CFD study.
