Biomedical Applications
BEP and MEP possible, both numerical (computer simulations) and experimental studies.
Possible Topics:
- Blood flow and species (LDL, oxygen, medical drug) in healthy and diseased patient-specific vascular system;
- Airflow in lungs (oxygen and aerosol distributions in the patient-specific geometries);
- Computer optimization of the localized cancer treatment (MDT-magnetic drug targeting);
- Mathematical modelling and computer simulations of atherosclerosis;
- Modeling and simulations of drug eluting stents;
- Computer modeling of the tumor growth;
- Cryogenic treatment of solid tumors;
- Heart failure - simulations of the blood flow in heart chambers;
- One-dimensional modeling of entire blood circulation in human body;
- One-dimensional modeling of airflow and particle depositions within a lung fractal structure;
- Towards virtual surgery: computer optimization of operative treatments;
- The particle-imaging velocimetry (PIV) measurements of flow patterns in patient-specific aorta, carotid artery or brain vascular system.
Environmental Flows
The projects are numerical (mathematical modeling and computer simulations) - both BEP and MEP.
Possible topics:
- Effects of vegetation in urban areas on flow, turbulence and dispersion of pollutants;
- Atmospheric chemistry modeling of ozone depletion or generation within the cities;
- Simulations of the urban heat island phenomena;
- Modeling of crowd behavior (normal and subjected to accidental release of toxic gas);
- Modeling of traffic induced turbulence on local distribution of pollution;
- Hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) approach for environmental flows;
- Modelling of forest fire propagation - effects of terrain and wind direction.
