A 2D stochastic fluid-structure interaction problem in compliant arteries with non-zero longitudinal displacement

Abstract

In this paper, we study a nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problem driven by a multiplicative, white-in-time noise. The problem consists of the Navier-Stokes equations describing the flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid in a 2D cylinder interacting with an elastic wall whose elastodynamics is described by membrane equations. The stochastic force is applied both to the fluid equations as a volumetric body force, and to the structure as an external forcing to the deformable fluid boundary. The fluid and the structure are nonlinearly coupled via the kinematic and dynamic conditions assumed at the moving interface, which is a random variable not known a priori. In particular, we consider the case where the structure is allowed to have non-zero longitudinal displacement.
