A Parallel Solver for Anisotropic Cardiac Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
A parallel solver for numerical simulations of a full cardiac cycle in three dimensional domains, based on the anisotropic Monodomain and Bidomain models, is presented. The solver employs structured isoparametric trilinear finite elements in space and a semi-implicit adaptive method in time. Parallelization and portability are based on the PETSc parallel library. Largescale parallel computations have been run, simulating anisotropic dispersion of the action potential duration.

Parallel Solution of Cardiac Reaction-Diffusion Models
We present and study a parallel iterative solver for reaction-diffusion systems in three dimensions arising in computational electrocardiology, such as the Bidomain and Monodomain models. The models include intramural fiber rotation and anisotropic conductivity coefficients that can be fully orthotropic or axially symmetric around the fiber direction. These cardiac models are coupled with a mem...
متن کاملA Comparison of Coupled and Uncoupled Solvers for the Cardiac Bidomain Model
The aim of this work is to compare a new uncoupled solver for the cardiac Bidomain model with a usual coupled solver. The Bidomain model describes the bioelectric activity of the cardiac tissue and consists of a system of a non-linear parabolic reaction-diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) and an elliptic linear PDE. This system models at macroscopic level the evolution of the transmem...
متن کاملA Message-Passing Distributed Memory Parallel Algorithm for a Dual-Code Thin Layer, Parabolized Navier-Stokes Solver
In this study, the results of parallelization of a 3-D dual code (Thin Layer, Parabolized Navier-Stokes solver) for solving supersonic turbulent flow around body and wing-body combinations are presented. As a serial code, TLNS solver is very time consuming and takes a large part of memory due to the iterative and lengthy computations. Also for complicated geometries, an exceeding number of grid...
متن کاملAnisotropic ‘helmholtz’ Equations: Massively Parallel Structured Multifrontal Solver Using Nested Dissection Based Domain Decomposition with Separators of Variable Thickness
Abstract. We consider the discretization and approximate solution of inhomogeneous anisotropic ‘Helmholtz’ equations in 3D. The anisotropy comprises general (tilted) TI symmetries. In particular, we are concerned with solving these equations on a large domain, for a large number of different sources. We make use of a nested dissection based domain decomposition in a massively parallel multifron...

In this work, a two-layer coupled fluid-structure-structure interaction model is considered, which incorporates an anisotropic structure model into the fluid-structure interaction problems. We propose two domain decomposition solvers for such a class of coupled problems: a Robin-Robin preconditioned GMRES solver combined with an inner Dirichlet-Neumann iterative solver, and a Robin-Robin precon...
