## Abstract After first implantation of a metallic stent into cardiac vessels in 1986 stent implantation has become a standard technique for treatment of coronary heart disease. During implantation of balloonβexpandable stents, the structure of the stent undergoes high plastic deformation. Despite

Mathematical models and numerical methods have emerged as fundamental tools in the investigation of life sciences. In particular, this is the case of medical devices as cardiovascular drug eluting stents, where experimental/clinical evidence may often be very expensive and extremely variable. Here,
## Abstract A 2D numerical model is proposed to simulate unsteady cavitating flows. The Reynoldsβaveraged NavierβStokes equations are solved for the mixture of liquid and vapour, which is considered as a single fluid with variable density. The vapourization and condensation processes are controlled
