Cardiovascular system simulations
Considered as a physical system, the heart is the most sophisticated pump, the outcome of a million years of evolution. Thanks to the multi-physics capabilities of the Alya code, we simulate the fluid-electro-mechanical coupling of a beating heart and the arterial blood flow.

Respiratory system
The project aims at predicting particle deposition in the respiratoty system, drug delivery being the main target application. To this end, direct numerical simulation of the airflow and Lagrangian particle transport are carried out in the large and small airways.
