- The solvers allow for the coupled simulation of local vascular effects using discrete networks (1D trees) and, in the near future, CFD results.
- Exclusive thermal damage and effect quantification models, e.g., T-CEM43, are included.
- The P-THERMAL solvers have been extensively validated by comparison with analytically solvable cases, experimental measurements under controlled conditions, and in vivo measurements.
