Abstract EN
Unsteady flow in a collapsible tube is analyzed to simulate a diseased human coronary artery.
The novelty of the approach is that the set of equations governing the fluid-structure interaction is reduced to a single integrodifferential equation in the transient state.
The equation is then solved using the finite difference method to obtain the flow characteristics and compliant wall behavior.
Three control parameters are investigated, namely, Reynolds number, inlet transmural pressure, and the wall thickness.
The predicted wall deflection is quite large at low Reynolds numbers, suggesting possible approach to breakdown in equilibrium.
The transmural pressure increases with wall deflection and bulges appear at the ends of the membrane indicating critical stage of stability, consistent with previous studies.
Increase in wall thickness reduces the wall deflection and ultimately results in its collapse which may indicate another breakdown in equilibrium.
An increase in internal pressure is required to maintain membrane stability.
