PURPOSE This paper proposes a model to measure the cardiac output and stroke volume at different aortic stenosis severities using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation at rest and during exercise. METHODS The geometry of the aortic valve is generated using echocardiographic imaging. An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian mesh was generated in order to perform the FSI simulations. Pressure ...

We propose Finger-Specific Interaction (FSI) as a potential interaction technique for interactive surfaces. FSI treats each finger as completely independent, as one input primitive. This paper discusses the advantages and drawbacks of adopting FSI for use on interactive surfaces. The advantages include an increase of input primitives, enabling eyes-free interaction and the ability to differenti...

Aeroelastic simulations of a 2.3 MW wind turbine rotor operating in different complex atmospheric flows are conducted using high fidelity fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulations. Simpler blade element momentum (BEM) theory based likewise for comparison, and measurements from field experiments used validation the Good agreement is seen between simulated measured forces. It found that flows...

Due to the significant health and economic impact of blood vessel diseases on modern society, its analysis is becoming of increasing importance for the medical sciences. The complexity of the vascular system, its dynamics and material characteristics all make it an ideal candidate for analysis through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations. FSI is a relatively new approach in numerical a...

Computational Fluid Dynamics is intensively used to deepen the understanding of aneurysm growth and rupture in order to support physicians during therapy planning. However, numerous studies considering only the hemodynamics within the vessel lumen found no satisfactory criteria for rupture risk assessment. To improve available simulation models, the rigid vessel wall assumption has been discard...

Abstract In this study the isogeometric B-Rep mortar-based mapping method for geometry models stemming directly from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is systematically augmented and applied to partitioned Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations. Thus, newly proposed methodology geometries described by their Boundary Representation (B-Rep) in terms of trimmed multipatch Non-Uniform Rational B-S...

In the recent years, fluid structure interaction (FSI) models of the aortic valve and root have become increasingly common for two main reasons. The medical reason is that millions of patients suffer from aortic valve disorders. The second reason is that this challenging problem combines several fields of computationalmechanics. The key motive for these modeling attempts is their potential to s...
