Dr Marko Topalović
Brief description of the research
The scientific work of Dr. Marko Topalović includes the development and improvement of numerical methods and software tools within the framework of the finite element method (FEM) and the SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) approach.
Within the PAK-S program, he worked on modifying the code structure using dynamic memory allocation, as well as on implementing a method for packing the stiffness matrix using a red–black tree. He also developed the parallelization of the PAK-S software using the MUMPS solver and the MPI protocol for working on multiprocessor architectures.
A significant part of his work concerns the development and adaptation of SPH software for bioengineering purposes. He developed a “lifecycle algorithm” that allows for the generation and deletion of SPH particles, which enabled realistic modeling of blood flow through arteries.
