Abstract
A mathematical model of myocardial perfusion based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is proposed and its applicability is investigated in both healthy and diseased cases. The myocardium is conceptualized as a porous material in which the transport and mass transfer of a contrast agent in blood flow is studied. The results of myocardial perfusion obtained using LBM in 1D and 2D are confronted with previously reported results in the literature and the results obtained using the mixed-hybrid finite element method. Since LBM is not suitable for simulating flow in heterogeneous porous media, a simplified and computationally efficient 1D-analog approach to 2D diseased case is proposed and its applicability discussed.
期刊介绍:
All differential equation based models for biomedical applications and their novel solutions (using either established numerical methods such as finite difference, finite element and finite volume methods or new numerical methods) are within the scope of this journal. Manuscripts with experimental and analytical themes are also welcome if a component of the paper deals with numerical methods. Special cases that may not involve differential equations such as image processing, meshing and artificial intelligence are within the scope. Any research that is broadly linked to the wellbeing of the human body, either directly or indirectly, is also within the scope of this journal.
