To be an effective tool in studying cardiovascular disease and designing new treatments, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) needs to move from the realm of “high performance” to “high throughput” computing by improving efficiency while retaining accuracy. Solution adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) has...
