Abstract

In this article we consider a fluid–structure interactions model on a three dimensional bounded domain, that describes the mechanical interaction between blood flow and a thrombus with Hookean elasticity. The interface between the two phases is given by a smooth transition layer, diffuse with a finite thickness. We derive various a priori estimates and prove local well-posedness results using the Faedo–Galerkin method.
