Advancements in Fluid-Structural Interaction Models for Cerebrovascular Health

The fluid-structural interactive (FSI) computational model has been well-developed and has played a critical role in biomedical analysis. Specifically tailored for vascular biomechanical analyses with highly flexible walls, FSI models have proven successful in analysing the interaction between the blood fluid dynamics and the vessel walls. The outcomes derived from FSI computational analyses contribute to a broader and deeper understanding of biomechanics and hold immense potential for predicting the progress of cerebrovascular disease from a biomechanical perspective. Despite the current achievements, a pressing need remains for further exploration and refinement of FSI models to elevate their performance, enhance accuracy, and validate their clinical applicability.

This Research Topic is dedicated to delving into the forefront of FSI computational models in cerebrovascular areas. The objective is to spotlight cutting-edge research encompassing the latest advancements in FSI computational methods, theoretical explorations, and the application and validation of clinical data.
