Abstract

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems arise under various circumstances including environmental and medical applications. This talk firstly presents numerical simulations for motions of aquatic plants interacting with surrounding fluids using immersed boundary method (IBM) with finite-difference approximation on fixed meshes. We also present simulations for blood flows in aorta solved on finite-element meshes moving with the vessel wall. Aortic aneurysms and aortic coarctations are considered here. Geometrical characteristics such as curvature and torsion help us to understand the essential difference for morphologies among patients. The latter problem is followed by a machine learning approach by which wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index distributions are estimated using geometrical characteristics of the vessels.

- Abstract
  
  Modeling and computational analysis play an increasingly important role in bioengineering, particularly in the design of implantable ventricular assist devices (VAD) and other blood-handling devices. Numerical simulation of blood flow and associated physiological phenomena has the potential to shorten the design cycle and give the designers important insights into causes of blood damage and suboptimal performance. A set of modeling techniques is presented which are based on stabilized space-time finite element formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. Alternate methods that represent the rotating components in an averaged sense using a rotating frame of reference will be discussed. In order to obtain quantitative hemolysis prediction, cumulative tensor-based measures of strain experienced by individual blood cells must be developed; red blood cells under shear can be modeled as deforming droplets, and their deformation tracked throughout the flow volume. The methods are applied to a simplified rotary blood pump, which is currently a subject of an inter-laboratory round-robin study.

Abstract

Biological soft tissues and soft gels are difficult to study and model mathematically. Bioengineers often see them as engineering materials and try to evaluate their mechanical properties with standard testing protocols, such as tensile testing, simple shear, torsion, etc. These processes are destructive for tissues, as a sample is taken out of the body and placed in a device. The resulting measured parameters and models are expected to be very different from their in vivo counterparts. To test soft tissues properly, non¬-destructively, and non¬-invasively, we can rely on elastic waves. We can study the influence of pre¬stress on their speed and obtain the nonlinear elastic parameter by inverse analysis. This idea forms the basis of the theory of acousto-¬elasticity, which can be dated back to early works of Brillouin, and has been used successfully in the past for “hard” elastic solids such as rocks and metals. With this talk, we will explore the extension of acousto-¬elasticity to “soft” elastic solids, which can be subjected to large deformations in service. We will look at theoretical, numerical, experimental, and even clinical results, generated in particular on gels, brain, breast, and skin.
