Wave Pressure 3D
Computer codes, used for the acquisition of results, are from Vincent [Chabannes].
1. Problem Description
As in the 2D case, the blood flow modelisation, by observing a pressure wave progression into a vessel, is the subjet of this benchmark. But this time, instead of a two-dimensional model, we use a three-dimensional model, with a cylinder
This represents the domains into the initial condition, with \(\Omega_f\) and \(\Omega_s\) respectively the fluid and the solid domain. The cylinder radius equals to \(r+\epsilon\), where \(r\) is the radius of the fluid domain and \(\epsilon\) the part of the solid domain.
\(\Gamma^*_{fsi}\) is the interface between the fluid and solid domains, whereas \(\Gamma^{e,*}_s\) is the interface between the solid domain and the exterior. \(\Gamma_f^{i,*}\) and \(\Gamma_f^{o,*}\) are respectively the inflow and the outflow of the fluid domain. Likewise, \(\Gamma_s^{i,*}\) and \(\Gamma_s^{o,*}\) are the extremities of the solid domain.
During this benchmark, we will study two different cases, named BC-1 and BC-2, that differ from boundary conditions. BC-2 are conditions imposed to be more physiological than the ones from BC-1. So we waiting for more realistics based results from BC-2.
1.1. Boundary conditions
-
on \(\Gamma_f^{i,*}\) the pressure wave pulse
-
We add the coupling conditions on \(\Gamma^*_{fsi}\)
Then we have two different cases :
-
Case BC-1
-
on \(\Gamma_f^{o,*}\) : \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}_{f} \boldsymbol{n}_f =0\)
-
on \(\Gamma_s^{i,*} \cup \Gamma_s^{o,*}\) a null displacement : \(\boldsymbol{\eta}_s=0\)
-
on \(\Gamma^{e,*}_{s}\) : \(\boldsymbol{F}_s\boldsymbol{\Sigma}_s\boldsymbol{n}_s^*=0\)
-
on \(\Gamma_f^{i,*}U \Gamma_f^{o,*}\) : \(\mathcal{A}^t_f=\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}^*\)
-
-
Case BC-2
-
on \(\Gamma_f^{o,*}\) : \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}_{f} \boldsymbol{n}_f = -P_0\boldsymbol{n}_f\)
-
on \(\Gamma_s^{i,*}\) a null displacement \(\boldsymbol{\eta}_s=0\)
-
on \(\Gamma^{e,*}_{s}\) : \(\boldsymbol{F}_s\boldsymbol{\Sigma}_s\boldsymbol{n}_s^* + \alpha \boldsymbol{\eta}_s=0\)
-
on \(\Gamma^{o,*}_{s}\) : \(\boldsymbol{F}_s\boldsymbol{\Sigma}_s\boldsymbol{n}_s^* =0\)
-
on \(\Gamma_f^{i,*}\) : \(\mathcal{A}^t_f=\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}^*\)
-
on \(\Gamma_f^{o,*}\) : \(\nabla \mathcal{A}^t_f \boldsymbol{n}_f^*=\boldsymbol{n}_f^*\)

3. Outputs
After solving the fluid struture model, we obtain \((\mathcal{A}^t, \boldsymbol{u}_f, p_f, \boldsymbol{\eta}_s)\)
with \(\mathcal{A}^t\) the ALE map, \(\boldsymbol{u}_f\) the fluid velocity, \(p_f\) the fluid pressure and \(\boldsymbol\eta_s\) the structure displacement.
4. Discretization
Here are the different configurations we worked on.
The parameter Incomp defines if we use the incompressibility constraint or not.

For the structure time discretization, we will use Newmark-beta method, with parameters \(\gamma=0.5\) and \(\beta=0.25\).
And for the fluid time discretization, BDF, at order \(2\), is the method we choose.
These two methods can be found in [Chabannes] papers.
