Abstract

We study an unsteady nonlinear fluid–structure interaction problem which is a simplified model to describe blood flow through viscoelastic arteries. We consider a Newtonian incompressible two-dimensional flow described by the Navier–Stokes equations set in an unknown domain depending on the displacement of a structure, which itself satisfies a linear viscoelastic beam equation. The fluid and the structure are fully coupled via interface conditions prescribing the continuity of the velocities at the fluid–structure interface and the action–reaction principle. We prove that strong solutions to this problem are global-in-time. We obtain, in particular that contact between the viscoelastic wall and the bottom of the fluid cavity does not occur in finite time. To our knowledge, this is the first occurrence of a no-contact result, and of the existence of strong solutions globally in time, in the frame of interactions between a viscous fluid and a deformable structure.
