A water supply system with radial wells (RWs) extends usually over tens of kilometers horizontally and tens of meters deep within the soil. Water flows through the soil and then through several lateral screens to the vertical shaft. Lateral screens represent perforated pipes with lengths in meters and diameters measured in centimeters. A common app...

This review summarizes scientific findings from three European Commission FP7 projects. The first, ARTREAT (2008-2013), focused on a multi-level, patient-specific model of artery and atherogenesis for outcome prediction, treatment decision support, and virtual hands-on training. An original method for plaque formation and development was created an...

Aortic dissection is a severe clinical condition that demands a thorough understanding of the interactions between the true and false lumens. In this study, numerical simulations were performed for two patients, generating two preoperative and two postoperative models. The analyses were carried out using the PAKSF solver, a specialized tool for flu...

This paper describes software developed based on numerical implementation of algorithms for coupled acoustic – structure interaction. This class of problems implies coupling of the fluid domain, with sound wave propagation, and the domain of solid, which vibrates under the pressure caused by sound waves from the fluid domain. The physical beh...

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted project implementation costs and caused delays across numerous industries. Various analysis found in the literature show that the predominant cause of project delays and higher costs have been people, material, and equipment movement restrictions, supply chain disruptions, and social distancing polic...

Over the last few decades, cardiovascular stents have emerged as crucial biomedical devices. Stents undergo cyclic physiological loading, which can lead to progressive accumulation of structural damage over time eventually resulting in a stent fracture. Considering the critical role of stents, it is necessary to assess their fatigue endurance and p...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is one of the most prominent cardiovascular diseases, with almost 1 in 500 people suffering from it. It is of great importance for this disease to be detected in a timely manner, so that patients can be provided with an adequate therapy. This is also important for monitoring the future development of the disease so that ...

This is a feasibility study for the application of a novel concept of single-needle device for localized chemotherapy. Systemic chemotherapy has numerous and severe side effects. To conduct localized (electro)chemotherapy, we designed a novel device that does not currently exist on the market. Electrochemotherapy is based on the cell membranes temp...

Heart wall tissue plays a crucial role in living organisms by generating the mechanical force for blood flow. This tissue has a complex internal structure comprised mostly of muscle cells, in which biochemical energy is transformed into mechanical active stress under rhythmical electrical excitation. The overall heart functioning depends, among oth...

Nowadays, finite element analysis is a well-assessed technique which enables investigation of blood vessels behavior under different boundary conditions. Given the rapid progression of both medical imaging techniques and computational methods, the challenge of using the simulation of human arteries such as carotid arteries to address different medi...
