Characteristics of blood vessel wall deformation with porous wall conditions in an aortic arch
Appl. Rheol. 24:2 (2014) 24590 (8 pages)

Blood vessels have been modeled as non-porous structures that are permeable to solutes mixed in the blood. However, the
use of non-physiological boundary conditions in numerical simulations that assume atmospheric pressure at the outlet does
not illustrate the actual structural physics involved. The presence of pores in the wall influences wall deformation characteristics,
which may increase the risk of rupture in specific conditions. In addition, the formation of secondary flows in a curved
blood vessel may add complications to the structural behavior of the vessel walls. These reservations can be addressed by a
fluid structure interaction-based numerical simulation of a three-dimensional aortic arch with increased physiological velocity
and pressure waveforms. The curvature radius of the arch was 30 mm with a uniform aorta diameter of 25 mm. A one-way
coupling method was used between physics of porous media flow and structural mechanics. A comparison of results with a
non-porous model revealed that the approximated porous model was more prone to hypertension and rupture. Similarly, the
secondary flows found to be an important indicator for the vascular compliance that forced the outer aortic region to experience
the largest deformation. Consequently, it is very important to use actual physiological situations of the blood vessels
to reach a diagnostic solution.
