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.

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.

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.
