Peter Benko (2017) Blood flow simulation in neck veins. EngD thesis.
Abstract
The goal of this thesis is an overview of the vast field of existing computational fluid dynamics solvers for a three-dimensional model and integration of the most suitable into a web application, with the vision to integrate it into the existing Med3D program. The simulation is to be run through a blood vessel, that was generated by assembling medical images in NeckVeins. In the paper we get briefly acquainted with the physical background of the Lattice Boltzmann method, on which the chosen solution from the overview of existing solutions is based on. We inspect the file formats, that are needed for a successful integration of different interfaces, that the existing software already defines. Presented is also the final implementation of the developed program, the algorithms used for supporting the preparation of the model for the simulation, and design decisions met during the development.
