Abstract: Metamodels, or surrogate models, have been proposed in the literature to reduce the resources (time/cost) invested in the design and optimization of engineering systems whose behavior is modeled using complex computer ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of wind turbine wakes are strongly influenced by the choice of the turbulence model used to close the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. A wrong choice can lead ...

Abstract: Significant advances are needed to optimize the charging speed, reliability, safety, and cost of today's conservatively designed electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. The design and optimization of these novel engineering ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used to predict and understand cardiovascular flows. However, the accuracy of CFD predictions depends on faithful reconstruction of patient vascular anatomy and accurate ...

Abstract: Fontan associated liver disease is a common complication in patients with Fontan circulation, who were born with a single functioning heart ventricle. The hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is used to assess liver ...

Abstract: Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is a minimally invasive method of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair utilized in patients with complex vessel anatomies. Stent grafts (SG) used in this process contain ...

Abstract: Stent grafts are medical devices used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Computational and experimental models have been developed to study stent graft delivery and deployment ...
