Accurate rupture risk assessment is essential for optimizing treatment decisions in patients with cerebral aneurysms. While computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has provided critical insights into aneurysmal hemodynamics, most analyses focus on blood flow patterns, neglecting the biomechanical properties of the aneurysm wall. To address this limitation, we applied fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis, an integrative approach that simulates the dynamic interplay between hemodynamics and wall mechanics, offering a more comprehensive risk assessment. In this study, we used advanced FSI techniques to investigate the rupture risk of middle cerebral artery bifurcation (MCA) aneurysms, analyzing a cohort of 125 patients treated for a MCA aneurysm at Kepler University Hospital, Linz, Austria. Multivariate analysis identified two significant rupture predictors: High Equivalent Stress Area (HESA;p = 0.049), which quantifies stress distribution relative to the aneurysm surface, and Gaussian curvature (GLN;p = 0.031), which captures geometric complexity. We also introduce the HGD index, a novel composite metric combining HESA, GLN, and Maximum Wall Displacement, designed to enhance predictive accuracy. With a threshold of 0.075, the HGD index exhibited excellent diagnostic performance;in internal validation, 24 of 25 ruptured aneurysms surpassed this threshold, yielding a sensitivity of 0.96. In a 5-fold cross validation the reliability of results was confirmed. Our findings demonstrate that the HGD index provides superior rupture risk stratification compared to conventional single-parameter models, offering a more robust tool for the assessment of complex aneurysmal structures. Further multicenter studies are warranted to refine and validate the HGD index, advancing its potential for clinical application and improving patient outcomes.

The hydrodynamic damper is a device to decrease the motion of armament carrier by use of the water resistance. When hydrodynamic damper rushes into the water channel with high velocity, it is a complicated flow phenomenon with fluid-structure interaction, free surface and moving interface. Numerical simulation using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method coupled with the Finite Element (FE) method was successfully conducted to predict the dynamic characteristics of hydrodynamic damper. The water resistance, the pressure in the interface and the stress of structure were investigated, and the relationship among the peak of water resistance, initial velocity and actual draught was also discussed. The empirical formula was put forward to predict the water resistance. And it is found that the resistance coefficient is commonly in the range of 0.3 ≤ C ≤ 0.5, when the initial velocity is larger than 50 m/s. It can be seen that the SPH method coupled with the FE method has many obvious advantages over other numerical methods for this complicated flow problem with fluid-structure interaction.

The development and rapid usage of numerical codes for fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problems are of great relevance to researchers in many engineering fields such as civil engineering and ocean engineering. This multidisciplinary field known as FSI has been expanded to engineering fields such as offshore structures, tall slender structures and other flexible structures applications. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the numerical model of two-way coupling FSI partitioned flexible plate structure under fluid flow. The adopted partitioned method and approach utilized the advantage of the existing numerical algorithms in solving the two-way coupling fluid and structural interactions. The flexible plate was subjected to a fluid flow which causes large deformation on the fluid domain from the oscillation of the flexible plate. Both fluid and flexible plate are subjected to the interaction of load transfer within two physics by using the strong and weak coupling methods of MFS and Load Transfer Physics Environment, respectively. The oscillation and deformation results have been validated which demonstrate the reliability of both strong and weak method in resolving the two-way coupling problem in contribution of knowledge to the feasibility field study of ocean engineering and civil engineering.

A numerical investigation of steady laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a lid driven cavity with a flexible bottom surface is analyzed. A stable thermal stratification configuration was considered by imposing a vertical temperature gradient while the vertical walls were considered to be insulated. In addition, the transport equations were solved using a finite element formulation based on the Galerkin method of weighted residuals. In essence, a fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis was utilized in this investigation. Moreover, the fluid domain is described by an Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation that is fully coupled to the structure domain. Comparisons of streamlines, isotherms, bottom wall displacement and average Nusselt number were made between rigid and flexible bottom walls. The results of this investigation revealed that the elasticity of the bottom wall surface plays a significant role on the heat transfer enhancement. Furthermore, the contribution of the forced convection heat transfer to that offered by natural convection heat transfer has a profound effect on the behavior of the flexible wall as well as the momentum and energy transport processes within the cavity. This investigation paves the road for future research studies to consider flexible walls when augmentation of heat transfer is sought. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents the computational analysis of a fluid-structure interaction for a flapping flexible plate in quiescent fluid to investigate the effect of flexibility on the generation of propulsion that is critical for birds, insects, and micro-air vehicles with flapping wings. It is known that rotation of the flapping rigid plate or wing near the end of a translational stroke enhances propulsion. This study found that flexibility improves the efficiency of propulsion during the rotation process and creates an optimal point in the propulsion. The lattice Boltzmann method with an immersed boundary technique using a direct forcing scheme is used to simulate the fluid, while the finite element method with Euler beam elements is used to model structural deformation of the flexible plate. The direct forcing scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method was improved by introducing a participation ratio, which represents the ratio of fluid lattice points to effective interpolated points and modifies the force term for the zero-thickness plate.

The behavior of a temperature-sensitive micro-channel have been investigated in this study which mainly includes a functionally graded (FG) hydrogel as a sensor or an actuator. In order to achieve this goal, both fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and non-FSI simulations are conducted for hydrogel with homogeneous property distribution as well as FG hydrogels with different number of layers (2-16 layers). Moreover, this study investigates the FG hydrogel cross-linking density that obeys a general exponential form. In addition to all mentioned, the FG hydrogels are considered in both ascending and descending states with vertically and horizontally functionally graded property distributions (VFG and HFG hydrogels). Subsequently, the importance of the difference between the FG and homogenous hydrogels has been highlighted in the findings of the study. Besides, the FSI influence has a vital role in these structures especially once an FG material is utilized. According to the findings, the ascending and descending distributions of the hydrogel properties may significantly affect the micro-channel behavior, especially in horizontally graded type. This process can be done in a way that for descending distribution of HFG there exist no closing state for the micro-channel.

We present a new model and a novel loosely coupled partitioned numerical scheme modeling fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in blood flow allowing non-zero longitudinal displacement. Arterial walls are modeled by a linearly viscoelastic, cylindrical Koiter shell model capturing both radial and longitudinal displacement. fluid flow is modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible, viscous fluid. The two are fully coupled via kinematic and dynamic coupling conditions. Our numerical scheme is based on a new modified Lie operator splitting that decouples the fluid and structure sub-problems in a way that leads to a loosely coupled scheme which is unconditionally stable. This was achieved by a clever use of the kinematic coupling condition at the fluid and structure sub-problems, leading to an implicit coupling between the fluid and structure velocities. The proposed scheme is a modification of the recently introduced "kinematically coupled scheme" for which the newly proposed modified Lie splitting significantly increases the accuracy. The performance and accuracy of the scheme were studied on a couple of instructive examples including a comparison with a monolithic scheme. It was shown that the accuracy of our scheme was comparable to that of the monolithic scheme, while our scheme retains all the main advantages of partitioned schemes, such as modularity, simple implementation, and low computational costs.

Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of disability and mortality. Finite element-based head models are promising tools for enhanced head injury prediction, mitigation and prevention. The reliability of such models depends heavily on adequate representation of the brain-skull interaction. Nevertheless, the brain-skull interface has been largely simplified in previous three-dimensional head models without accounting for the fluid behaviour of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its mechanical interaction with the brain and skull. In this study, the brain-skull interface in a previously developed head model is modified as a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) approach, in which the CSF is treated on a moving mesh using an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian multi-material formulation and the brain on a deformable mesh using a Lagrangian formulation. The modified model is validated against brain-skull relative displacement and intracranial pressure responses and subsequently imposed to an experimentally determined loading known to cause acute subdural haematoma (ASDH). Compared to the original model, the modified model achieves an improved validation performance in terms of brain-skull relative motion and is able to predict the occurrence of ASDH more accurately, indicating the superiority of the FSI approach for brain-skull interface modelling. The introduction of the FSI approach to represent the fluid behaviour of the CSF and its interaction with the brain and skull is crucial for more accurate head injury predictions.
