Abstract

A new computational approach for simulating the blood flow-induced sound generation and propagation in a stenosed artery with one-sided constriction was investigated. This computational hemoacoustic method is based on mapping the transient pressure (force) fluctuations on the vessel wall and solving for the structural vibrations in frequency domain. These vibrations were detected as sound on the epidermal surface. The current hydro-vibroacoustic method employs a two-step, one-way coupled approach for the sound generation in the flow domain and its propagation through the tissue layers. The results were validated by comparing with previous analytical and computational solutions. It was found that the bruits (generated from the flow around the stenosis) are related primarily to the time-derivative of the integrated pressure force on the arterial wall downstream of the stenosis. Advantages of the methods used in the current study include: (a) capability of providing accurate solution with a faster solution time; (b) accurately capturing the break frequency of the velocity fluctuation measured on epidermal surface; (c) inclusion of the fluid-structure interaction between blood flow and the arterial wall.
