Modelling the cardiovascular system: the interplay of different
techniques
The modelling of the cardiovascular system is still a computational
challenge. To reduce complexity one resorts to the interplay of
different models. The most complex ones resolve the full
three-dimensional flow and are used only in the region of interest.
Simpler models are used instead to take account of the global
circulatory system. In this talk we will discuss effective
numerical schemes to couple these different techniques.
