Perinajová, R. (author), van Ooij, Pim (author), Kenjeres, S. (author)A long-time exposure to lack of oxygen (hypoxia) in some regions of the cerebrovascular system is believed to be one of the causes of cerebral neurological diseases. In the present study, we show how a combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can provide a noninvasive alternative for studying...journal article 2023

Perinajová, R. (author), Álvarez-Cuevas, Concepción Borrás (author), Juffermans, Joe (author), Westenberg, Jos (author), Lamb, Hildo (author), Kenjeres, S. (author)There is a pressing need to establish novel biomarkers to predict the progression of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) dilatation. Aside from hemodynamics, the roles of oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) and nitric oxide (NO) in TAA pathogenesis are potentially significant. As such, it is imperative to comprehend the relationship between aneurysm presence...journal article 2023

(author)The disease atherosclerosis causes stenosis inside the patient's arteries, which often eventually turns lethal. Our goal is to detect a stenosis in a non-invasive manner, preferably in an early stage. To that end, we study whether and how laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) can be deployed. We start out by using computational fluid dynamics...journal article 2022

van As, K. (author), Simons, Bram A. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Bhattacharya, N. (author)We study how the speckle contrast depends on scatterer velocity, with the goal of further developing laser speckle imaging as a quantitative measurement technique.

Vesper, J.E. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author)In the present study, we propose the use of a light, inert carrier gas to support deposition uniformity and rate in continuous physical vapor deposition, in which closely spaced slots or nozzles are required to achieve a sufficiently high deposition rate. Interaction shocks between the emerging rarefied plumes cause undesired nonuniformities...journal article 2022
