Abstract
The fluid flow in collapsible channels or tubes is an interesting problem with several physiological applications; for example, blood flow in veins, air flow in lungs and wheezing. In this paper, we present a fluid-structure interaction based model for single-phase fluid flow through a microchannel containing two elastic walls. A two-dimensional model is developed and simulations have been performed using a commercial software. The deforming geometry is analyzed using moving mesh. The flow field and deformation of the elastic walls for different boundary loads and inlet flow conditions are presented and discussed.
