Numerical simulations of a 3D fluid-structure interaction model for blood flow in an atherosclerotic artery

The inflammatory process of atherosclerosis leads to the formation of an atheromatous plaque in the intima of the blood vessel. The plaque rupture may result from the interaction between the blood and the plaque. In each cardiac cycle, blood interacts with the vessel, considered as a compliant nonli...
