Trung Le PhD Defense: A Computational Framework for Simulating Cardiovascular Flows in Patient-Specific Anatomies
Posted
The goal of the thesis is to develop a computational framework for simulating cardiovascular flows in patient-specific anatomies. The numerical method is based on the curvilinear immersed method approach and is able to simulate pulsatile flow in complex anatomical geometries, incorporates a novel, lumped-parameter kinematic model of the left ventricle wall driven by electrical excitation, and can carry out fluid-structure interaction simulations between the blood flow and implanted bi-leaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHV).

Join us at the EOLOS commissioning ceremony - Oct 25, 2011
Posted
A public commissioning ceremony will be held at the University of Minnesota's UMore Park property for the new Eolos Wind Research Station. Following the commissioning of the research station, guests will be invited to take a self-guided walking tour of the facilities, including the new 420 ft tall wind turbine, and meet University and industry research partners. A range of exhibits on University research, UMore Park initiatives, local community and technical college opportunities in renewable energy careers, state-of-the art research technology, and plans for a sustainable community on the UMore Park will be on display.

NSF Workshop Marine Hydrokinetic Energy and the Environment Oct 6-7, 2011.
Posted
The objective of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts to: (1) lay down the major research challenges and opportunities at the interface of marine/hydrokinetic energy and the environment, and (2) to create synergies among principal investigators towards forming multi-disciplinary research groups that can better undertake end-to-end research in energy and the environment.
