“…Spatio-temporal continuum models that employ computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have gained widespread usage to study blood clotting in devices [ 10 ], in common microfluidic assays [ 11 , 12 ], in aneurysms [ 13 ] and bleeding [ 14 , 15 ], and to understand the effects of flow and transport on the clotting process overall [ 3 , 12 , 16 , 17 ]. A significant proportion of spatial-temporal models of clotting have been implemented using inhouse codes [ 3 , 15 , 16 ], commercial tools with high licensing costs [ 11 ], or are not publicly available [ 10 , 12 , 13 , 18 ], posing a challenge for researchers with limited resources. There is growing interest in open source and freely available software tools such as OpenFOAM [ 19 ].…”
