Resistance-Time Co-Modulated PointNet for Temporal Super-Resolution Simulation of Blood Vessel Flows (2111.10372v1)

Abstract: In this paper, a novel deep learning framework is proposed for temporal super-resolution simulation of blood vessel flows, in which a high-temporal-resolution time-varying blood vessel flow simulation is generated from a low-temporal-resolution flow simulation result. In our framework, point-cloud is used to represent the complex blood vessel model, resistance-time aided PointNet model is proposed for extracting the time-space features of the time-varying flow field, and finally we can reconstruct the high-accuracy and high-resolution flow field through the Decoder module. In particular, the amplitude loss and the orientation loss of the velocity are proposed from the vector characteristics of the velocity. And the combination of these two metrics constitutes the final loss function for network training. Several examples are given to illustrate the effective and efficiency of the proposed framework for temporal super-resolution simulation of blood vessel flows.
