HemeLB, developed by the team of Prof Peter Coveney at University College London (UK), is a software pipeline that simulates the blood flow through a stent (or other flow diverting device) inserted in a patient’s brain.
The CompBioMed Centre of Excellence and its flagship code HemeLB will have a presence at SC20, this year's International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. HemeLB be will feature in the Practical Hybrid Parallel Application Performance Engineering Tutorial, taking place on Monday 9 November 2020 at 10:00-14:00 EST and in the ProTools workshop, taking place on Thursday 12 November at 16:00-16:30 EST.
HemeLB, developed by the team of Prof Peter Coveney at University College London (UK), is a software pipeline that simulates the blood flow through a stent (or other flow diverting device) inserted in a patient’s brain. The aim is to discover how different stent designs (surface patterns) affect the stress the blood applies to the blood vessel, in particular in the region of the aneurysm being treated. The pipeline also allows the motion of magnetically steered particles, for example coated with drugs, to be simulated and estimates made as to where they might statistically end up.
