We should be able to model arteries putting down plaque and why the plaque dissects. Aneurysms should also be able to be modeled to simulate why they burst.
Blood cells and plasma particles (small spheres) gush through a simulated artery in the first leg of this animation. Multicolored slices through the artery reveal the velocities of blood components.
A second simulation captures how blood-clotting platelet cells cram into a potentially lethal aneurysm, or weakened cell wall that bulges outward.
Blood flow is the first one here:
