This talk will address two different applications: (i) a three-dimensional Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) benchmark for validating FSI simulation tools and (ii) a novel homogenisation technique for describing subject-specific mechanical properties of skeletal muscle tissue.
The intention of the first application was to develop a MRI-based FSI benchmark for biomedical applications. The benchmark experiment was designed to exhibit the interaction between an incompressible non-linear solid and a moderately viscous Newtonian fluid in a fully three-dimensional setting for a steady-state and periodic steady-state flow in a laminar regime. A 3T MRI scanner was used for data acquisition to obtain a rich and comprehensive data set in a format that is used in typical biomedical applications. Acquired time-resolved MRI data include inflow boundary condition data as well as geometry and flow images.
