The physics governing the fluid dynamics of bio-inspired flapping wings is effectively characterized by partial differential equations (PDEs). Nevertheless, the process of discretizing these equations at spatiotemporal scales is notably time consuming and resource intensive. Traditional PDE-based computations are constrained in their applicability, which is mainly due to the presence of numerous shape parameters and intricate flow patterns associated with bionic flapping wings.

This information can be used in early diagnosis of patients with potential heart problems. The current study introduces a patient-specific cardiovascular-modelling system (CMS) which simulates the flow dynamics in the LV to facilitate physicians in early diagnosis of patients before heart failure.
