CFD Challenge: Solutions Using an Open-Source Finite Volume Solver, OpenFOAM

The Institute Biomedical Technology and the Department of Flow, Heat and Combustion Mechanics of Ghent University have for more than a decade worked on the development and analysis of algorithms for the simulation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI). These algorithms are applied to blood flow in large arteries, among others. For this Challenge, grid generation and CFD simulations have been performed by postdoctoral fellow Joris Degroote, using an open-source finite volume flow solver, OpenFOAM.
