Am Donnerstag, dem 23.06.2016 findet in Gebäude 03, Raum 106 ab 10.00 Uhr das STIMULATE-Kolloquium statt.
Vortragender:
Prof. Rainald Löhner, George Mason University, USA
Thema:
"Using CFD to Further the Understanding of Aneurysms"
Abstract:
The use of
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as a tool to further the understanding of
haemodynamic phenomena is almost two decades old. Rapid advances in image
processing, image to mesh,CFD solvers, post-processing and data reduction, as
well as computer hardware, have allowed the routine valuation of
patient-specific haemodynamic flows. This in turn has led to a symbiotic
collaboration of radiologists and research scientists from fluid dynamics and,
increasingly, also solid dynamics and material science. In the particular area
of aneurysms, the fidelity of the CFD models achieved, and the creation of
databases with hundreds (in some case thousands) of patient-specific cases has
allowed to identify clinically relevant flow phenomena to predict aneurysm
rupture, as well as the efficacy of flow diversion devices.
The talk will give an overview of the work done to date, and some recent
discoveries.
CV:
Rainald Loehner is the head of the CFD center at the College of Sciences of
George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, in the outskirts of Washington, D.C. He
received a MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Technische Universitaet
Braunschweig, Germany, as well as a PhD and DSc in Civil Engineering from the
University College of Swansea, Wales. His areas of interest include numerical
methods, solvers, grid generation, parallel computing, visualization,
pre-processing, fluid-structure interaction as well as shape and process
optimization. His codes and methods have been applied in many fields, including
aerodynamics or airplanes, cars and trains, hydrodynamics of ships, submarines
and UAVs, shock-structure interaction, dispersion analysis in urban areas and
haemodynamics of vascular diseases. He is the author of more than 750 articles covering
the fields enumerated above, as well as a textbook on Applied CFD Techniques.
