CFD analysis of a disturbed flow within a fluidic chamber used for tissue engineering and disease modeling
We have developed an in vitro system for modeling atherosclerosis, based on a tissue engineering approach. The aim of the current project is to simulate (CFD analysis) the disease environment in a predetermined time frame and to compare the results obtained with data from in vitro experiments.
Atherosclerosis is a life threatening vascular pathology characterized by the accumulation of a fatty plaque in human arteries.

The student will assess the flow of the culturing medium under a range of athero-prone conditions.
