This research will improve mathematical models and numerical               methods for studying platelet aggregation during blood clotting                 and the flow of fluid-particle suspensions.  These are large-                   scale problems of considerable complexity.  Consequently, the                   research will involve a high degree of computation, much of which               will require use of a supercomputer.  A new particle-based                      algorithm for solving a multidimensional convection-dominated                   convection-diffusion equation will be developed.  The use of                    localized forces to represent platelets and suspended particles                 will be extended to the representation of blood vessel walls.                        This work should shed light on a central question in                       aggregation: how the blood's local fluid dynamics and the                       geometry of the blood vessel interact to influence the location,                rate, and extent of aggregate formation.  It will aid in the                    design of nonthrombogenic artificial internal organs.
