Least Squares Finite Element Method for Hepatic Sinusoidal Blood Flow (2008.01512v1)
Published 4 Aug 2020 in math.NA, cs.CE, and cs.NA
Abstract: The simulation of complex biological systems such as the description of blood flow in organs requires a lot of computational power as well as a detailed description of the organ physiology. We present a novel Least-Squares discretization method for the simulation of sinusoidal blood flow in liver lobules using a porous medium approach for the liver tissue. The scaling of the different Least-Squares terms leads to a robust algorithm and the inherent error estimator provides an efficient refinement strategy.
