Abstract:
Advances in high-performance (supercomputer) simulations are revolutionizing biomedical research. Figure 1 shows a visualiazation of data from a cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of blood flow through a replacement heart valve. Our collaborators in medical device design hope to use these data as part of a new approach to redesigning the valve hinging mechanism, ultimately improving the longevity of these devices. Biomedical engineers face significant challenges in exploring and understanding these data.
