Abstract

We consider the coupling between three-dimensional(3D) and one-dimensional (1D) fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models describing blood flow inside compliant vessels. The 1D model is a hyperbolicsystem of partial differential equations.The 3D model consists of the Navier-Stokes equationsfor incompressible Newtonian fluids coupled with a model for the vessel wall dynamics. A non standard formulationfor the Navier-Stokes equations is adopted tohave suitable boundary conditions for the couplingof the models. With this we derive an energy estimatefor the fully 3D-1D FSI coupling. We consider several possiblemodels for the mechanics of the vessel wall in the 3D problemand show how the 3D-1D coupling depends on them.Several comparative numerical tests illustrating the coupling are presented.
