• Fluid is incompressible.• Fluid solver utilizes the PISO algorithm.• Structure has linear elasticity.• Structure solver employs the discretization of a second-order finite volume
method in space and a second-order backward method in time.

Summary• The FSI solver of OpenFOAM succeeds in predicting the nerve injury of whiplash.• The computation is paralleled.• The ganglion deformation is connected with the pressure impulsion of
venous plexus, which is reproduced by imposing a varying pressure boundary condition at the inlet.
• We will extend the present 2D simulation to 3D.
