| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Computational and experimental developments for pulse wave propagation phenomenon are conducted to investigate effects of arterial wall viscoelastic properties on wall shear stress distribution.
To solve the interactions between fluid and structure on a Cartesian grid, virtual flux method and regularized lattice Boltzmann method are applied. The commercial code Radioss was also used to solve the interactions by using ALE method.
Pulse wave propagation phenomenon is reproduced using silicon tubes and evaluated in terms of pulse wave velocity to compare that from the Moens-Korteweg equation.
