Isogeometric Hierarchical Model Reduction: from analysis to patient-specific simulations (English)
[ Abstract ]
In the field of hemodynamics, numerical models have evolved to account for the demands in speed and accuracy of modern diagnostic medicine. In this context, we studied in detail Hierarchical Model Reduction technique combined with Isogeometric Analysis (HigaMOD), a technique recently developed in [Perotto, Reali, Rusconi and Veneziani (2017)]. HigaMod is a reduction procedure used to downscale models when the phenomenon at hand presents a preferential direction of flow, e.g., when modelling the blood flow in arteries or the water flow in a channel network. The method showed a significant improvement in reducing the computational power and simulation time, while giving enough information to analyze the problem at hand.

Recently, we focused our work in solving the ADR problem and the Stokes problem in a patient-specific framework. Specifically, we evaluate the computational efficiency of HigaMod in simulating the blood flow in coronary arteries and cerebral arteries. The main goal is to assess the
mprovement that 1D enriched models can provide, with respect to traditional full models, when dealing with demanding 3D CFD simulations. The results obtained, even though preliminary, are promising [Brandes, Barbosa and Perotto (2019); Brandes, Barbosa, Perotto and Suito (2020)].
