Vascular Fluid dynamics : introduction to fluid-struture interaction problem
Abstract
The biofluid dynamics plays an important role in the cardiovascular system. It is relevant in order to understand the forces and movement of the blood and its particles (blood cells), as well as the interaction between blood cells and the vessel wall. Thus studies in biofluid dynamics can be important in imposing diagnostics and therapeutic application. In present article, we turn our attention to the introduction to fluid-structure interaction problem in cardiovascular system, and its mathematical formulation (using the coupled approach and the ALE formulation of the fluid problem). Presented numerical examples show the first results of our preliminary study.
