New-supercomputer-simulates-blood-flow
2016 22 Mar
Researchers have successfully used a new supercomputer simulation of blood that moves around the entire human body. This simulated blood flow compares extremely well with real-world flow measurements. The findings were presented at the American Physical Society's meeting in Baltimore. The computer, called Harvey, operates on a software that uses...Read more
