Computational hemodynamics has become increasingly important within the context of precision medicine, providing major insight in cardiovascular pathologies. However, finding appropriate compromise between speed and accuracy remains challenging in computational hemodynamics for an extensive use in decision making. For example, in the ascending thoracic aorta, interactions between the blood and the aortic wall must be taken into account for the sake of accuracy, but these fluid structure interactions (FSI) induce significant computational costs, especially when the tissue exhibits a hyperelastic and anisotropic response. The objective of the current study is to use the Small On Large (SOL) theory to linearize the anisotropic hyperelastic behavior in order to propose a reduced-order model for FSI simulations of the aorta. The SOL method is tested for fully-coupled FSI simulations in a patient-specific aortic geometry presenting an Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (aTAA). The same model is also simulated with a fully-coupled FSI with non-linear material behavior, without SOL linearization. Eventually, the results and computational times with and without the SOL are compared. The SOL approach is demonstrated to provide a significant reduction of computational costs for FSI analysis in the aTAA, and the results in terms of stress state distribution are comparable. The method is implemented in ANSYS and will be further evaluated for clinical applications.
