ROMed2VR The ROMed2VR project is a pioneering initiative focused on advancing pre-surgical planning for congenital heart defects by combining the power of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Virtual Reality (VR). By developing a fast, reliable computational workflow based on open-source CFD and Reduced Order Models (ROM), the project aims to support surgeons in […]
PANDORA PANDORA is an EU‑funded initiative charting a new course for cardiovascular surgery through patient‑specific digital twins of the aorta. Fusing AI‑driven image analysis with high‑fidelity, in‑silico simulations, the project enables surgeons to trial different grafts and operative strategies in a virtual environment before entering the operating theatre. This predictive capability is designed to steer […]
LESSICE The LESSICE project (Multiscale LES Simulation for In-Flight ICE Accretion Simulation) represents a significant advancement in the computational modeling of ice formation on aircraft surfaces. Led by a consortium that includes the Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali (CIRA), HIT09, and RBF Morph, the project is part of the Spoke 6 initiative within the Sapienza CN1 research program (CUP B83C22002940006). In-flight ice accretion is […]
The EU-funded DigiPAD project (Digital Twin for Advanced Design in the Aerospace Industry) represents a transformative effort to enhance the precision and efficiency of preliminary aircraft design. Launched in May 2024, the 15-month initiative is a collaboration between RBF Morph and SmartUp Engineering, two organizations renowned for their expertise in numerical simulation and optimization tools. By leveraging […]
RIBES EU Project A common strategy to model the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) mechanisms is to couple the fluid dynamic solution, obtained by CFD tools, with structural solvers in an iterative process. The European “RIBES” research project, funded within the 7th framework programme (aeronautics and air transport), is focused on the improvement of the accuracy […]
DiTAiD – Digital Twin for Airflow and Drug Delivery in Human Airways CFD can be used to assess airflow and improve the efficiency of inhaled drug delivery in human lungs. However, presently this requires patient-specific simulations which can be both costly and time-consuming. The objective of the experiment is to reduce the time scales […]
Cloud-based HPC Platform to Support Systemic-pulmonary Shunting Procedures Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) account for nearly one-third of all congenital birth defects. Without the ability to alter the prevalence of CHD, interventions and resources must be focused to improve survival and quality of life. The Modified Blalock Taussig Shunt (mBTS) is a common palliative operation on […]
MeDiTATe Project MeDiTATe (The medical digital twin for aneurysm prevention and treatment) aims to develop state-of-the-art image based medical Digital Twins of cardiovascular districts for a patient specific prevention and treatment of aneurysms. The Individual Research Projects of the 14 ESRs are defined across five research tracks: (1) High fidelity CAE multi-physics simulation with RBF mesh […]
Spinner The Spinner Project is a doctoral training programme aimed at Bioengineering early stage researchers, to train bioengineers to be in a position to design the next generation of repair materials and techniques for spine surgery. SPINNER brings together partners from the biomaterials (Finceramica), implantable devices (Aesculap), and computational modelling (Ansys, Adagos) industries with orthopaedic clinicians […]
Fortissimo 2 Cross-Solver Cloud-Based Tool for Aeronautical FSI Applications Fortissimo 2 is a successor of Fortissimo project and it continues to address the adoption of next generation ICT advances in the manufacturing domain. At the core of Fortissimo 2 are three tranches of Application Experiments (~35 in total). A key feature of Fortissimo 2 will be the […]
