Oxygen transport in a permeable model of abdominal aortic aneurysm

This paper reports on modelling and simulation of the coupled mass and momentum transport through the arterial lumen and the porous arterial wall of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The effect of porous structure and intramural flow, which is usually neglected, is essential to quantify the oxygen concentration in the aneurysmal wall and will be addressed in this work via a novel coupled fluid–porous structure–mass transport model for AAA. The...
