Blood Flow in the Beating Heart: Coupling Fluid Dynamics to Reduced Wall and Circulation Models for Data-Driven Cardiac FSI
摘要
We present a fluid–reduced solid interaction approach suitable for modelling blood flow in a beating left heart. The method combines the efficiency of fluid dynamics models with features from full fluid–solid interaction approaches, uniquely integrating motion data to predict cardiac haemodynamics over a full heart cycle. The approach is presented for a patient-specific left heart model coupled to a lumped circulatory system, showing physiological flow behaviour and pressure–volume relations.
