abstract = {Many simulation workflows require to prepare the data for
the simulation manually. This is time consuming and leads to
a massive bottleneck when a large number of numerical
simulations is requested. This bottleneck can be overcome by
an automated data processing pipeline. Such a novel pipeline
is developed for a medical use case from rhinology, where
computer tomography recordings are used as input and flow
simulation data define the results. Convolutional neural
networks are applied to segment the upper airways and to
detect and prepare the in- and outflow regions for accurate
boundary condition prescription in the simulation. The
automated process is tested on three cases which have not
been used to train the networks. The accuracy of the
pipeline is evaluated by comparing the network-generated
output surfaces to those obtained from a semi-automated
procedure performed by a medical professional. Except for
minor deviations at interfaces between ethmoidal sinuses,
the network-generated surface is sufficiently accurate. To
further analyze the accuracy of the automated pipeline, flow
simulations are conducted with a thermal lattice-Boltzmann
method for both cases on a high- performace computing
system. The comparison of the results of the respiratory
flow simulations yield averaged errors of less than $1\%$
for the pressure loss between the in- and outlets, and for
the outlet temperature. Thus, the pipeline is shown to work
accurately and the geometrical deviations at the ethmoidal
sinuses to be negligible.},
