Resolving the Issue of Resolution

摘要

This Journal, as well as practically all publications that deal, directly or indirectly, with hemodynamics and vascular pathophysiology (from a clinical or biomechanical perspective, if there is a difference) have seen an explosion of articles using computational methodologies—often tagged with the CFD acronym, Computational Fluid Dynamics. This research addresses conditions like atherosclerosis, stenosis, and, of interest to this article, aneurysms. In light of this undeniable surge of interest, an article like the one published in this volume entitled, “Mind the Gap: Impact of Computational Fluid Dynamics Solution Strategy on Prediction of Intracranial Aneurysm Hemodynamics and Rupture Status Indicators,”1 by Valen-Sendstad and Steinman, which documents in very robust, quantifiable, and indisputable terms “how to do it right” is most welcome and will certainly become indispensable guidance in the computational hemodynamics for aneurysms community.
