▪ Abstract Almost all vessels carrying fluids within the body are flexible, and interactions
between an internal flow and wall deformation often underlie a vessel's biological function or …

Pulsatile turbulent flow in stenotic vessels has been numerically modeled using the
Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation approach. The commercially available …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) can be simulated in a monolithic way by solving the flow and
structural equations simultaneously and in a partitioned way with separate solvers for the …

Since its coming of age in the mid 1960s, continuum biomechanics has contributed much to
our understanding of human health as well as to disease, injury, and their treatment …

We describe here the mechanism of platelet adhesion to immobilized von Willebrand factor
(VWF) and subsequent formation of platelet-derived microparticles mediated by glycoprotein …

Recent advances in medical imaging, computational methods, and biomechanics promise to
enable significant improvements in engineering-based decision making in vascular …

We propose a quasi-Newton algorithm for solving fluid-structure interaction problems. The
basic idea of the method is to build an approximate tangent operator which is cost effective …

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of steady and pulsatile flow through 75%(by area
reduction) stenosed tubes have been performed, with the motivation of understanding the …

The results of computational simulations may supplement MR and other in vivo diagnostic
techniques to provide an accurate picture of the hemodynamics in particular vessels, which …

▪ Abstract Knowledge of blood vessel mechanical properties is fundamental to the
understanding of vascular function in health and disease. Analytic results can help …
