Simulations of the mechanics of the left ventricle of the heart with fluid-structure interaction benefit greatly from the parallel processing power of a high performance computing cluster, such as HPCVL. The objective of this paper is to describe the computational requirements for our simulations. Results of parallelization studies show that, as expected, increasing the number of threads per jo...

Patient specific modelling of the blood flow through the human aorta is performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Velocity patterns are compared between computer simulations and measurements. The workflow includes several steps: MRI measurement to obtain both geometry and velocity, an automatic levelset segmentation followed by meshing of the geome...

Aerospace engineers have always been leading in the field of design using computational simulations. We design vehicles that go fast, fly high, and operate in extreme conditions. Because computation can help reduce expensive tests that physically simulate these extreme conditions, we benefit from computational simulation and design. This is why successful aerospace companies and agencies, such ...

an artificial neural network (ann) model is developed for the analysis, simulation, and prediction of the austenite reversion in the thermo-mechanical treatment of 304l austenitic stainless steel. the results of the ann model are in good agreement with the experimental data. the model is used to predict an appropriate annealing condition for austenite reversion through the martensite to austeni...

the compact finite difference schemes have been found to give simple ways of reaching the objectives of high accuracy and low computational cost. during the past two decades, the compact schemes have been used extensively for numerical simulation of various fluid dynamics problems. these methods have also been applied for numerical solution of some prototype geophysical fluid dynamics problems ...

Discrete event simulations are a powerful technique for modeling stochastic systems with multiple components where interactions between these components are governed by the probability distribution functions associated with them. Complex discrete event simulations are often computationally intensive with long completion times. This paper describes our solution to the problem of orchestrating th...

Total computational costs of scientific simulations are analyzed between direct numerical simulations (DNS) and multiphysics simulations (MPS) for sound generation in musical instruments. In order to produce acoustic sound by a turbulent flow in a simple recorder-like instrument, compressible fluid dynamic calculations with a low Mach number are required around the edges and the resonator of th...
