VaMPy - The Vascular Modeling Pypeline

The Vascular Modeling Pypeline (VaMPy) is a collection of automated scripts to prepare, run, and analyze vascular morphologies. This includes pre-processing scripts for generating a volumetric mesh, defining physiological boundary conditions, and inserting probes for sampling velocity and pressure. For the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, we have included three Oasis/OasisMove problem files for simulating flow in the internal carotid artery and the left atrium, including moving domain simulations in the atrium. There are also a variety of post-processing scripts, which computes wall shear stress-based metrics, more advanced turbulence metrics, and a variety of geometric parameters.
