Mariano Vázquez, Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Large Scale Computational Bio-Mechanics in Barcelona Supercomputing Center
In this talk the computational bio-mechanics (CBM) lines of BSC will be described. They go in the direction of the "Homo Computationalis", where complex CBM problems are solved using efficient parallel solvers, capable of running in supercomputing facilities, in order to get closer to realistic simulations of human organs treated as Physical systems. Three projects will be described in detail: Cerebral Artherial System, Superior Respiratory Airways and Electromechanical Model of the Heart.
