Summary
This paper presents the development of the cloud software services for
computational analysis of blood flows on a private university cloud. The main focus
is on the software service level built on the top of the computational platform
provided. Moreover, user friendly management tools have been developed by using
the Apache jclouds API to enhance the management of OpenStack cloud
infrastructure and to increase the accessibility of engineering software. The blood
flow through an aortic valve is considered as a pilot application of the private cloud
infrastructure. The investigated flows can be described using numerical models
based on viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The modelling software
environment based on ANSYS Fluent is developed as a software service (SaaS) for
the numerical analysis of low flow, low pressure gradient aortic stenosis. The
performance of the developed cloud infrastructure has been assessed testing CPU,
memory IO, disk IO, network and the developed software service for computations
of blood flow through an aortic valve. The results obtained have been compared
with the performance obtained using the native hardware.
