    Fluid-structure interaction analysis of wall stress and flow patterns in a thoracic aortic aneurysm

    , International Journal of Applied Mechanics, Vol: 1, Pages: 179-199

    In this study, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation was carried out to predict wall shear stress (WSS) and blood flow patterns in a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) where haemodynamic stresses on the diseased aortic wall are thought to lead to the growth, progression and rupture of the aneurysm. Based on MR images, a patient-specific TAA model was reconstructed. A newly developed two-equation laminar-turbulent transitional model was employed and realistic velocity and pressure waveforms were used as boundary conditions. Analysis of results include turbulence intensity, wall displacement, WSS, wall tensile stress and comparison of velocity profiles between MRI data, rigid and FSI simulations. Velocity profiles demonstrated that the FSI simulation gave better agreement with the MRI data while results for the time-averaged WSS (TAWSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI) distributions showed no qualitative differences between the simulations. With the FSI model, the maximum TAWSS value was 13% lower, whereas the turbulence intensity was significantly higher than the rigid model. The FSI simulation also provided results for wall mechanical stress in terms of von Mises stress, allowing regions of high wall stress to be identified.

    Analysis of flow patterns in a patient-specific thoracic aortic aneurysm model

    , Publisher: Elsevier, Pages: 680-690

    In this study, a newly developed two-equation transitional model was employed for the prediction of blood flow patterns in a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) where the growth and progression are closely linked to low and oscillating wall shear stresses. Laminar–turbulent transition in the dilated vessel can alter the flow structure, shear stress and pressure distribution within the aneurysm. A patient-specific TAA model was reconstructed from magnetic-resonance (MR) images and measured velocity waveform was used as the inflow condition. Laminar flow and a correlation-based transitional version of Menter’s hybrid k /k x Shear Stress Transport (SST Tran) model were implemented in pulsatile simulations from which WSS distribution was obtained throughout a cardiac cycle and velocity profiles were compared with MR measurements. The correlation-based transitional model was found to produce results in closer agreement with the MR data than the laminar flow simulation.

    Low wall shear stress predicts subsequent development of wall hypertrophy in lower limb bypass grafts

    , Artery Research, Vol: 3, Pages: 32-38, ISSN: 1872-9312

    Background: Venous grafts commonly develop myointimal hyperplasia, which can lead to stenoses and, ultimately, with expression of adhesion molecules, lumenal occlusion. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether wall shear stress measured post-operatively would predict subsequent myointimal hypertrophy in lower limb venous bypass grafts. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound were performed in a cohort of patients following lower limb venous bypass graft surgery for peripheral arterial disease at baseline (1e2 weeks) and at follow-up (9e12 months). Wall shear stress was determined at baseline using computational fluid dynamics techniques and intima-media thickness along the length of the graft was measured by ultrasound at baseline and follow up. Results: Complete follow-up was possible in eight patients, in whom low wall shear stress at baseline predicted high intima-media thickness. The relationship between wall shear stress (WSS) and intima-media thickness (IMT)was curvilinear with IMTincreasing sharply at lower levels ofWSS (IMT >1.0 mm at <0.3 Pa). Conclusions: Low wall shear stress is associated with subsequent increase in myointimal thickness in lower limb venous bypass grafts. This is believed to be the first prospective study in humans to demonstrate the relationship between low wall shear stress and myointimal thickening and indicates a likely causative role for lowwall shear stress in the development ofmyointimal hyperplasia.

    Analysis of Flow Disturbance in a Stenosed Carotid Artery Bifurcation Using Two-Equation Transitional and Turbulence Models

    , Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, Vol: 130, Pages: 061008-1-061-008-12

    In this study, newly developed two-equation turbulence models and transitional variants are employed for the prediction of blood flow patterns in a diseased carotid artery where the growth, progression, and structure of the plaque at rupture are closely linked to low and oscillating wall shear stresses. Moreover, the laminar-turbulent transition in the poststenotic zone can alter the separation zone length, wall shear stress, and pressure distribution over the plaque, with potential implications for stresses within the plaque. Following the validation with well established experimental measurements and numerical studies, a magnetic-resonance (MR) image-based model of the carotid bifurcation with 70% stenosis was reconstructed and simulated using realistic patient-specific conditions. Laminar flow, a correlation-based transitional version of Menter's hybrid k-/k- shear stress transport (SST) model and its “scale adaptive simulation” (SAS) variant were implemented in pulsatile simulations from which analyses of velocity profiles, wall shear stress, and turbulence intensity were conducted. In general, the transitional version of SST and its SAS variant are shown to give a better overall agreement than their standard counterparts with experimental data for pulsatile flow in an axisymmetric stenosed tube. For the patient-specific case reported, the wall shear stress analysis showed discernable differences between the laminar flow and SST transitional models but virtually no difference between the SST transitional model and its SAS variant.

    Advanced computational models for disturbed and turbulent flow in stenosed human carotid artery bifurcation

    , IFMBE Proceedings, Vol: 21 IFMBE, Pages: 390-394, ISSN: 1680-0737

    In this study, newly developed two-equation transitional and turbulence models are employed for the prediction of blood flow patterns in diseased carotid artery where the growth, progression and structure of plaque at rupture are closely linked to low and oscillating wall shear stresses. Moreover, laminar-turbulent transition in the post-stenotic zone can alter the separation zone length, wall shear stress and pressure distribution over the plaque, with potential implications for stresses within the plaque. A separate validation study was carried out with well established experimental measurements and numerical studies. Laminar flow, Menter's hybrid k-ε/k-ω Shear Stress Transport model and its transitional version were implemented in pulsatile simulations from which analyses of velocity profiles, wall shear stress and turbulence intensity were conducted. It was found that the transitional version of SST gave better overall agreement with experimental data for pulsatile flow in an axisymmetric stenosed tube and this is further highlighted in the patient-specific geometry simulation results. A magnetic-resonance (MR) image based model of the carotid bifurcation with 70% stenosis was reconstructed and simulated using patient-specific boundary conditions. The laminar flow assumption was found to be inadequate when the differences occurred in the wall shear stress analysis of the patient-derived model. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
