IN SILICO MODELLING OF FLOW-INDUCED COLLAPSE OF BLOOD VESSELS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VOLUME STATUSES

Abstract

Here, we present the initial steps towards developing a robust computational framework for simulating IVC vessel collapse using FSI. Our preliminary results, qualitative and quantitative, are in good agreement with previous studies [5,6]. Further investigation is needed to understand the impact of BCs and IVC geometry on the observed hemodynamic alterations and collapse. In our ongoing research, we aim to improve the accuracy of the collapsible IVC model by optimizing the ANSYS coupling system and incorporating realistic flow and wall material properties. By enhancing the reliability of our framework, we anticipate gaining deeper insights into this complex phenomenon, advancing medical understanding, and potentially improving diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
