TL;DR: A simplified model representing the interaction between a potential fluid and a linear elastic thin tube is considered, which reproduces propagation phenomena and takes into account the added-mass effect of the fluid on the structure, which is known to be source of numerical difficulties.

TL;DR: A mathematical model for the coupling between biomechanics and hemodynamics in the lamina cribrosa, a thin porous tissue at the base of the optic nerve head which is thought to be the site of injury in ocular neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma, suggests that the degree of fixity of the boundary constraint strongly influences theLamina's response to IOP elevation.

TL;DR: A computational model is proposed for the simulation of the biomass growth, under given inlet and geometrical conditions, where nutrient concentration, fluid dynamic field and cell growth are consistently coupled.

TL;DR: A novel mathematical and computational model describes the coupling between blood flow mechanics and oxygen transport in the retina and shows that systemic arterial blood pressure has a strong influence on the retinal circulation profiles in both blood and tissue.

TL;DR: A discontinuous Petrov--Galerkin (DPG) method for the finite element discretization of second order elliptic boundary value problems and its connection with mixed-hybrid and DG methods is explored.
