The Model of Thrombosis Simulation Based on Adaptive Mesh Refinement

Abstract

In the research of thrombosis, the simulation experiment through computational models and computer software has become an important research orientation. Compared with traditional studies, the simulation with computational models has advantages on experimental environment and experimental fund. In this paper, a level set method based computational model is proposed. In the model, Level set method is used in the thrombus growth model to simulate the evolution of thrombus surface, as well as the Local level set method and adaptive mesh refinement are used to improve computational efficiency. In our study, the influence of vascular stenosis on the thrombus shape and growth rate are analyzed by numerical simulations.
