2022-2023: Surrogate Modelling of Cardiovascular Fluid Dynamics with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

setup
As universal function approximators, deep neural networks have the potential of being the surrogate solver of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. This was recently demonstrated via the Physics Informed Neural Network (PINN) on aneurysm flows by Sun et al. However, PINNs are specific to the geometry of the flow domain and require slow training for each new geometric scenario encountered. Here, we present an alternative approach, where a deep learning (DL) side network is cascaded to a PINN domain network for the pre-training of varied geometric cases, which has the potential to enhance network robustness and decrease training complexity.



2021-22: Fluid Mechanical Effects of Fetal Aortic Valvuloplasty for Cases of Aortic Stenosis and Evolving Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Fetal aortic stenosis (AS) with evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome (feHLHS) causes high risks of progression to HLHS at birth. An in-utero catheter-based intervention, Fetal Aortic Valvuloplasty (FAV), has shown promise as an intervention strategy to circumvent the progression, but its impact on the heart's biomechanics is not well understood. We performed patient-specific computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations based on 4D fetal echocardiography to assess the changes in the fluid mechanical environment in the feHLHS left ventricle (LV) before and after FAV.
