Week Eight Progress (SEM 2)

Beginning of this week I decided to stop continuing making MATLAB coding for the project equations for while because I am far away from university's library. secondly to simulate the upper limb artery into MATLAB.

So I began with searching on how to construct the geometry of arterial using MATLAB since a part of my project is to simulate or construct the geometry of upper limp artery besides the blood flow through it.

I made a comprehensive research I went through internet sites and many researches talk about modeling arteries such as (MODELLING THE HEMODYNAMICS IN THE HUMAN CAROTID ARTERY BIFURCATION AND COMPUTER SIMULATION" for Adrian Postelnicu, Dan Minea, Livia Sangeorzan, and Mircea Lupu) and ("MODELING 3-D COMPLIANT BLOOD FLOW WITH FOSLS" for Jeffrey J. Heys, Curt DeGroff, Tom Manteuffel, Steve McCormick and Henry Tufo) and more.

Through my reading I discovered a new obstacle in accomplishing my project that the simulation of blood flow can be done by MATLAB but the geometry of artery it self can not be simulated with MATLAB, it can be simulated by using FOSLS or ANSYS or FLOTRAN but not the MATLAB.

I decided to meet my supervisor Dr Rosmina Jaafar next week since this week I am out of Malaysia in temporary leave; to talk about this issue and how I can handle it.
