Presentation
Following the Flow: Monitoring the Evolution of Circulating Tumor Cells and Blood Flow
SessionArt of HPC Gallery
DescriptionWe showcase two distinct applications of computational fluid dynamics for patient health monitoring driven by the HARVEY fluid dynamics solver. The first portion of the animation depicts blood flow coursing through a representative human aorta. The inlet of the flow begins at the ascending aorta, passing through the aortic arch until it reaches the descending aorta at the bottom of the geometry. The fluid flow diverges upon entering the aortic arch, dividing into right and left subclavian and common arteries. Flow is constantly pulsing throughout the lifetime of the animation to mimic circulation in vivo. The second portion of the animation portrays the movement of a circulating tumor cell (CTC) as it progresses through a geometry. Fluid flow streamlines guide the path of the CTC as it traverses through the grid-like structure. Visualization of CTC deformation, primarily during interactions with geometry and blood flow, provides critical insights for long-term monitoring of patient health.
