Multiscale modeling of blood flow: Coupling finite elements with smoothed dissipative particle dynamics

A variational multi scale approach to model blood flow through arteries is proposed. A finite element discretization to represent the coarse scales (macro size), is coupled to smoothed dissipative particle dynamics that captures the fine scale features (micro scale). Blood is assumed to be incompres...
