Paper Accepted: Improved Prediction of Disturbed Flow

Congratulations to BSL PhD student Payam Bijari, whose paper "Improved prediction of disturbed flow via hemodynamically-inspired geometric variables" was recently accepted by the Journal of Biomechanics.

The gist of this study is that insight into the actual relationship between geometry and hemodynamics can be fed back into the definition of geometric variables for their use as practical surrogate markers of disturbed flow.  First stop: carotid bifurcation.  Next stop: cerebral aneurysms (or Greenwich Village :-)
