REO : Numerical simulation of biological flows (project-team)

About the project : Project-Team site Activity report Research reports Theses Theme : Bio Biological systems Paris - Rocquencourt research center

Project-Team Presentation

Joint project-team with the Pierre and Marie Curie University and CNRS (Jacques-Louis Lions Laboratory).

Our activities are aimed at

• modeling the flow of biological fluids, more especially blood in large vessels and air in the respiratory tracts, both in normal and pathological states;
• developing and analyzing efficient, robust and reliable numerical methods for the simulation of such flows;
• developing simulation software to guide medical decision and to design more efficient medical devices.

Research themes

• Multiphysics modeling
  • Fluid-structure interaction
  • Aerosol
• Multiscale modeling
  • The arterial tree modeling
  • Coupling with an electromechanical model of the heart
• Geometry acquisition
• Validation
• Shape optimization and parameters identification

International and industrial relations

• International networks:
  • FP5-RTN Haemodel
  • Associated Teams ACE
  • ERCIM IM2IM
• Industrial partnership with Air Liquide through the national network RNTS R-MOD.
