Abstract

A multiple fluid model tool for multi-dimensional fluid modeling of a biological structure is presented. For example, a system includes a modeling component, a machine learning component, and a three-dimensional health assessment component. The modeling component generates a three-dimensional model of a biological structure based on multi-dimensional medical imaging data. The machine learning component predicts one or more characteristics of the biological structure based on input data and a machine learning process associated with the three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional health assessment component that provides a three-dimensional design environment associated with the three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional design environment renders physics modeling data of the biological structure based on the input data and the one or more characteristics of the biological structure on the three-dimensional model.
