The aim of this work is the study of uid dynamics models using the CFD software OpenFOAM, an open source software allowing meshing, manipulation, simulation and post-processing of many problems involving uid mechanics. The work consists of a study with OpenFOAM of a real engineering problem, namely to analyze hemodynamics in the thoracic aorta in collaboration with CIMNE (Centre Internacional de Mdes Numcs en Enginyeria) and LABSON-UPC (Laboratorio de Sistemas Oleohidricos y Neumcos). Specically, the study aims to compute the shear stress that blood causes to aorta walls.
