Overview
Context of Modelling blood motion in deformable vessels project at University of Dundee
This will be achieved by applying concepts that have used in studying hydroelasticity of wave interaction with deformable bodies in engineering. In this project, the blood flow will be governed by the fluid-sheet theory and the deformation of the blood vessels will be determined by use of the classic elastic-plate theory. The two-way coupling between the fluid and structure occurs at the boundaries, where the fluid pressure distribution results in the deformation of the vessel, and deformation of the wall (due to the attached muscles) modifies the flow field.

- This model will allow for a wide range of studies on how the blood flow and the blood vessel affect each other; and how formation of irregular obstacles in the vessels (atherogenesis; the chronic build up of fatty material in arteries) would change the flow; or how change in the vessel wall properties (due to aging, for example) would alter the blood flow. This study will be performed primarily through analytical and numerical approaches and results of the model will be compared with available data. In this project, the student will benefit from engaging with world-renowned experts in Engineering Sciences as well as Life Sciences of the University of Dundee.
