Abstract
Computer simulations play an increasingly important role in the area of Medical Physics, from fundamental research to patient specific treatment planning. One particular application we address in this paper is the simulation of blood flow and clotting, in both synthetic model geometries and domains created from medical images (in particular, magnetic resonance imaging — MRI and computed tomography — CT). Our focus is on the efficient implementation of the lattice Boltzmann method for this type of medical application, particularly the clotting process.
