Biomedical Applications

BEP and MEP possible, both numerical (computer simulations) and experimental studies.

Possible Topics:

  1. Blood flow and species (LDL, oxygen, medical drug) in healthy and diseased patient-specific vascular system; 
  2. Airflow in lungs (oxygen and aerosol distributions in the patient-specific geometries); 
  3. Computer optimization of the localized cancer treatment (MDT-magnetic drug targeting); 
  4. Mathematical modelling and computer simulations of atherosclerosis; 
  5. Modeling and simulations of drug eluting stents; 
  6. Computer modeling of the tumor growth; 
  7. Cryogenic treatment of solid tumors; 
  8. Heart failure - simulations of the blood flow in heart chambers;
  9. One-dimensional modeling of entire blood circulation in human body;
  10. One-dimensional modeling of airflow and particle depositions within a lung fractal structure; 
  11. Towards virtual surgery: computer optimization of operative treatments; 
  12. 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:

  1. Effects of vegetation in urban areas on flow, turbulence and dispersion of pollutants;
  2. Atmospheric chemistry modeling of ozone depletion or generation within the cities;
  3. Simulations of the urban heat island phenomena; 
  4. Modeling of crowd behavior (normal and subjected to accidental release of toxic gas);
  5. Modeling of traffic induced turbulence on local distribution of pollution; 
  6. Hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) approach for environmental flows;
  7. Modelling of forest fire propagation - effects of terrain and wind direction.

The high-performance computing (HPC) and turbulence modelling (both BEP and MEP possible). 

Possible topics:

  1. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of Magnetic Convection;
