Numerical Simulation of Blood Flow in Flexible Arteries Using Fluid-Structure Interaction

Fluid-structure interactions (FSI) are complex multiphysics problems involving the interaction of a movable or deformable structure with a fluid flow, and they are critical in fields such as aerospace and biomedical engineering. This complexity is exemplified in the modeling of blood flow in flexible arteries, where challenges include the non-Newtonian nature of blood, the multi-layered composition of arterial walls, and the dynamic deformation of these walls in response to blood pressure changes. Rescale's platform supports these intricate simulations by providing access to high-performance computing resources and a vast library of analysis software like ANSYS Workbench, which is used to model the coupled fluid and structural dynamics in such scenarios. By enabling engineers and scientists to conduct these simulations with greater accuracy and without long queue times, Rescale offers a valuable solution to the computational demands posed by these sophisticated analyses.
