Modeling of fluid flow in a flexible vessel with elastic walls
Abstract
We exploit a two-dimensional model [7], [6] and [1] describing the elastic behavior of the wall of a flexible blood vessel which takes interaction with surrounding muscle tissue and the 3D fluid flow into account. We study time periodic flows in a cylinder with such compound boundary conditions. The main result is that solutions of this problem do not depend on the period and they are nothing else but the time independent Poiseuille flow. Similar solutions of the Stokes equations for the rigid wall (the no-slip boundary condition) depend on the period and their profile depends on time.
