This paper proposes a topology optimization design method for fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems considering Non-Newtonian fluid such as blood and polymer solution. Non-Newtonian fluid does not obey the Newtonian relationship between the shear stress and shear rate. Fluid–structure interacti...
