  1. 3D Flow Simulation By Sigve Hovda, Ph.D student Three Dimentional Computational Fluid Dynamic Model of the Human Heart During Ejection based on Ultrasound Measurements

  2. Spline Representation • Spline representation of the first and last volume • Interpolation in time between these volumes • Animation of the mesh

  3. The mesh • Adaptable • The volume is divided into 6 major blocks • 210 000 elements which decrease in size as they get closer to the wall

  4. The CFD simulation • Using a parallel computer, Cray 3E, with 64 processors • Solving the Navier Stokes Equations assuming blood is a Newtonian fluid • Reynolds number of 2500

  5. Results • Pressure • Velocity (absolute value)

  6. Compare with Ultrasound • Ultrasound colorflow image- Velocity component in the beam direction- Color codes these components- Spatial and temporal filtering • Simulation- Calculates these velocity components- Same colorcodes • Speed 5% of realtime

  7. Future Investigation • Better wall describtion • Better initial conditions • Combining ultrasound colorflow data with the CFD model • Using Inverse Boundary Methods
