  The partial differential equation part of the bidomain equations is discretized in time with fully implicit Runge–Kutta methods, and the resulting block systems are preconditioned with a block diagonal preconditioner. By studying the time-stepping operator in the proper Sobolev spaces, we show that the preconditioned systems have bounded condition numbers given that the Runge–Kutta scheme is A-stable and irreducible with an invertible coefficient matrix. A new proof of order optimality of the preconditioners for the one-leg discretization in time of the bidomain equations is also presented. The theoretical results are verified by numerical experiments. Additionally, the concept of weakly positive-definite matrices is introduced and analyzed.

  The aim of this study was to determine CSF pressure and velocities in idealized geometries representing the stenosed spinal canal found in Chiari patients.We applied the Navier-Stokes equation to simulate the cyclic CSF flow during one cardiac cycle. Hereby, we have illuminated a well–established medical hypothesis for the relation between the Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia: namely that spinal cord cysts are caused by the so-called Venturi effect (predicted by Bernoulli’s law) appearing in fluids that flow through obstructed areas. The results showed that the pressure gradient in geometries with obstructions comparable to Chiari patients may be 10 times as high as under normal flow conditions. The results also showed that the pressure gradients at the level of an obstruction may be twice as large as that predicted from steady flow or Bernoulli’s law.

  Summary Sound or bruits in the vasculatory system at the range of 1Hz-1kHz is known to occur, and frequency peaks at high frequencies are associated with sick blood vessels. The exact reason for these sounds are not known, but the sound may be generated by turbulence. Turbulence generated sound is typically associated with high frequencies but also with low energy levels. Unfortunately, most blood flow simulations are performed with space and time resolutions where rapid fluctuations typ- ically associated with non-laminar flow cannot be captured. Complex non-laminar flow and the subsequent oscillatory wall stresses can po- tentially be of importance in understanding aneurysm rupture through the local arterial wall response. To investigate the possible presence of complex non-laminar blood flow in intracranial aneurysms, we per- formed high resolution computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for patient specific middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms with sta- tionary inflow conditions. The current study confirms, through high resolution simulations, that complex oscillatory flow may occur in in- tracranial aneurysms. CFD practitioners should therefore be aware of the potentially strong demands to space-time computational resolution in blood flow simulations.

  The partial differential equation part of the bidomain equations is discretized in time with fully implicit Runge–Kutta methods, and the resulting block systems are preconditioned with a block diagonal preconditioner. By studying the time-stepping operator in the proper Sobolev spaces, we show that the preconditioned systems have bounded condition numbers given that the Runge–Kutta scheme is A-stable and irreducible with an invertible coefficient matrix. A new proof of order optimality of the preconditioners for the one-leg discretization in time of the bidomain equations is also presented. The theoretical results are verified by numerical experiments. Additionally, the concept of weakly positive-definite matrices is introduced and analyzed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
