Occurrences such as the global climate change have presented critical challenges to humanity and necessitated studies into how greenhouse gas emissions can be minimized. One practical solution is generation of power from renewable sustainable sources; hence, tidal current energy which, however, also gives rise concept fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The pressure fluid flow aspects affect str...

When modeling the cardiovascular system, the effect of the vessel wall on the blood flow has great relevance. Arterial vessels are complex living tissues and three-dimensional specific models have been proposed to represent their behaviour. The numerical simulation of the 3D3D Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) coupled problem has high computational costs in terms of required time and memory sto...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamics play an important role in the development and progression of carotid atherosclerosis, and may be important in the assessment of plaque vulnerability. The aim of this study was to develop a system to assess the hemodynamics of carotid atherosclerotic plaques using subject-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERI...

We discuss in this paper the numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems dealing with strong added-mass effect. We propose new semi-implicit algorithms based on inexact block-LU factorization of the linear system obtained after the space-time discretization and linearization of the FSI problem. As a result, the fluid velocity is computed separately from the coupled pre...

A b s t r a c t The radius of interaction between the struck proton and spectator nucleons is close to the radius of short-distance two-nucleon correlations in nuclear matter, which makes final state interaction (FSI) an important background to production of protons with large missing momentum. We present a simple classification of the dominant FSI effects in 4 He(e, e ′ p) scattering and ident...

In recent years the role of FSI (fluid-structure interaction) simulations in the analysis of the fluid-mechanics of heart valves is becoming more and more important, being able to capture the interaction between the blood and both the surrounding biological tissues and the valve itself. When setting up an FSI simulation, several choices have to be made to select the most suitable approach for t...

The effects of fluid-structure interactions (FSI) and pulsation on the transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) through an arterial wall are analyzed in this work. To this end, a comprehensive multi-layer model for both LDL transport as well as fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is introduced. The constructed model is analyzed and compared with the existing results in the limiting cases. Excel...
