Angiogenesis3D1D

Mixed-dimensional simulation of tumor growth and angiogenesis in coupled three-dimensional tissue and one-dimensional vascular domains.

Paper companion C++

A mixed-dimensional model of vascular tumor growth: a three-dimensional tissue domain coupled to a one-dimensional vascular network, so that nutrient transport through vessels and diffusion through tissue are solved together rather than approximated by a source term.

Written in C++ with libMesh and PETSc, it accompanies the angiogenesis papers with Marvin Fritz, Barbara Wohlmuth and collaborators. Its reusable numerical contribution is the coupling of heterogeneous PDEs posed on one- and three-dimensional domains.

Not publicly released. This code was written for the three papers above and has not been packaged for outside use; there is no repository to link. The model it implements is described in full in those papers.
