Abstract

In this contribution, results regarding fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations for three-dimensional arterial walls are presented. In detail, a benchmark problem for FSI simulations in arteries of sufficient complexity, which combines sophisticated nonlinear models for the fluid and the structure, cf. [1], as well as a short segment from a patient-specific arterial geometry are considered. For the patient-specific arterial geometry a specific inflow profile suited for realistic geometries and simplified boundary conditions for the outflow are taken into account.
