Determining Functional Severity of Stenosis
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for determining functional severity of a stenosis is described, which is based on generating a simulated perfusion map from a calculated blood flow and comparing it to a measured one to identify a degree of mismatch there between.

The convective heat transfer of branched structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the convective heat transfer property in a basic unit of branch network and derived the theoretical expression of the heat transfer rate for laminar flow in a pipe.

Optimal fractal tree-like microchannel networks with slip for laminar-flow-modified Murray's law.
TL;DR: The present work reinvestigates Murray’s law for laminar flow in a fractal tree-like microchannel network considering slip condition and finds that the slip increases the complexity of the optimal design of the fractal Tree-like Microchannel network to achieve the minimum hydraulic resistance.

Simulated annealing approach to vascular structure with application to the coronary arteries
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the approach can generate in silico vasculatures which closely match porcine anatomical data for the coronary arteries on all length scales, and that the optimized arterial trees improve systematically as computational time increases.

Uncertainty Quantification for Non-invasive Assessment of Pressure Drop Across a Coarctation of the Aorta Using CFD
TL;DR: The uncertainty of numerical pressure drop calculation introduced by uncertainties during image segmentation and measurement of volume flow rates was comparable to the uncertainty of pressure drop measurements using invasive catheterization, however, in some patients this uncertainty would have led to different treatment decision.
