PROBLEM FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION BETWEEN BLOOD FLOW AND ARTERIAL WALLS IN HEALTHY AND DISEASED STATES ANALYSIS OF FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION CAN: 1.Help predict initiation of disease 2.Helpimprove treatment of disease Prostheses design for non-surgical treatment of AAA and CAD • aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) repair • coronary artery disease (CAD) repair. 33
DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO STUDY: MULTI-PHYSICS AND MULTI-SCALE NATURE Plasma • BLOOD has complicated rheology: red blood cells, white blood • cells and platelets in plasma (relevant at small scales) • VESSEL WALLS have complex structure: intima, media, adventitia • (+ smaller scales layers); different mech. char. • Challenging to model. • INTERACTION (COUPLING) exceedingly complicated. Red Blood Cells Platelets White Blood Cells
COUPLING BETWEEN BLOOD FLOW AND VESSEL WALL MOTION • NONLINEAR COUPLING: density of the arterial walls is roughly the same as • density of blood • TWO TIME SCALES: fast traveling waves in arterial walls and • slow bulk blood flow velocity • COMPETITION BETWEEN “HYPERBOLIC” AND “PARABOLIC” EFFECTS • (wave propagation vs. diffusion) • algorithms developed for other applications, e.g. aeroelasticity, UNSTABLE; • novel ideas and algorithms needed • resolving both scales accurately requires sophisticated methods • resolving the two different effects requires different techniques
TRADITIONAL SOFTWARE FOR BLOOD FLOW SIMULATION • ASSUMES FIXED VESSEL WALLS • PAST 10 YEARS: intensified activity in fluid-structure interaction studies due to development of new mathematical tools (beginning with earlier work of Peskin (1989).) • CURRENT METHODS (far from optimal): • computationally expensive (implicit, monolithic schemes, commercial software) • OR • suffer from stability problems (explicit, loosely coupled algorithms) CHALLENGES: -3D simulations of larger sections of cardiovasc. sys. - complicated geometries - complicated tissue models ACTIVE AREA OF RESEARCH in the years to come
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN BLOOD FLOW(medium-to-large arteries: laminar flow and Re away from the turbulent regime) ANALYSIS • Fundamental properties of the interaction and of the solution. • Derivation of new closed, effective models. COMPUTATION • Design of a numerical algorithm (“kinematically coupled”) with a novel operator splitting approach (hyperbolic/parabolic) with improved stability properties. • Models allowing two different structures (stent modeling). • Fluid-cell-structure interaction algorithm VALIDATION AND TREATMENT TEXAS MEDICAL CENTER HOUSTON • Experimental validation. • Application to AAA repair and coronary angioplasty with stenting. 33

Michael Ellis DeBakey born SEPTEMBER 7, 1908. • pioneer in the field of cardiovascular surgery • pioneer in surgical treatment of AAA • 2006 (age 97): Dr. DeBakey treated for AAA; his procedure • oldest patient ever to undergo this treatment • hospital recovery lasted 8 months Dr. DeBakey Dr. Cooley
