Aortic Blood Turbulence
Visualization by: Rebecca Boon, Yuri Bazileus, Victor Calo, Jessica Zhang and Thomas J.R. Hughes
This image shows high velocities and a little turbulence due to a pump that's inserted into the aorta. The underlying model seeks to understand how the pump affects blood flow near a patient's heart in order to better design the pump. The simulation was computed on Lonestar.
