REO Research team

Numerical simulation of biological flows

Team presentation

REO project-team is working on the numerical simulation of biological flows. Its main objectives are:
  • the modeling of blood flows in large vessels and air flows in the respiratory tract
  • the design and the analysis of efficient and robust numerical methods for such flows
  • the development of numerical software to help for medical decisions and the improvement of existing medical devices
The team is bi-located at INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt center (near Versailles) and the Jacques-Louis Lions laboratory of University Pierre and Marie Curie (Paris 6). It is made of about 20 people, including 9 permanent researchers (5 from INRIA, 1 from CNRS, 3 assistant-professors from University P. & M. Curie - Paris 6)

Research themes

Direct and inverse modeling and computational methods for
  • fluid-structure interaction problems: interaction blood / arteries or cardiac valves
  • cardiac electrophysiology and electromechanical coupling
  • aerosol deposition in the respiratory tract
