Laplace-Dirichlet-Rule-Based-Methods (LDRBMs) are a
class of Rule-Based-Methods (RBMs) used to generate cardiac muscle fiber
orientations in electromechanical models. These methods define the orientation
of myocardial fibers within the heart by solving Laplace boundary-value
problems. Specifically, LDRBMs determine the transmural, apico-basal, and
inter-ventricular distances as solutions to Laplace equations within the
computational domain. By prescribing boundary conditions on the epicardial,
endocardial, and base surfaces of the heart, LDRBMs provide a mathematical
framework for generating realistic fiber architectures that play a crucial role
in electric signal propagation and myocardial contraction. These methods are
essential for accurately modeling the biomechanics of the heart and are widely
used in computational cardiac electromechanics research.
