Modeling and simulation of the cardiovascular system taking into account processes in cells and tissues

Aims:
Discussion of topical challenges to mathematical modeling and simulation of the cardiovascular system with focus on

Modeling and Analysis:
•    Biomechanical interaction of the blood flow with the vessel wall and the tissue reactions and transport processes in the blood flow and the vessel wall
•    Mechanics of the vessel walls including information on microstructures
•    Deposition and chemical processes and their influence on the vessel wall
•    Thrombus and plaque formation 
•    Vessel occlusion and infarcts
•    Methods and techniques for calibration and validation based on medical data

Numerical methods and simulation:
•    Methods for long time processes
•    Simulations of fluid-structure interaction and related free boundary problems
•    Methods for processes with large deformations
•    Report and discussion of simulations results and their medical implications.

Expected participants are experts and students from Mathematical Modeling, Analysis, Numerics and Medicine.
