Abstract

In this chapter, two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations are performed and results are compared to rigid wall simulations for the pre-operative case analysed in the previous chapter, in order to evaluate the importance of considering vessel wall and intimal flap motion.

The work presented in this chapter was published in ‘Aortic dissection simulation models for clinical support: fluid-structure interaction versus rigid wall models’, Biomedical Engineering OnLine (Alimohammadi et al. 2015b).
