This study presents a finite element fluid-structure interaction model for the horizontal canal system of the inner ear. The fluid? structural interaction problem is treated rigorously with a strong coupling between the fluid flow and the structural displacements. The endolymph is modeled as a slightly compressible Newtonian fluid and the cupula partition is represented by a linearly elastic solid. There are two models, Simple model and Real model. It is compare between simple model and real model. We estimate the shape of semi-circular canal. The real model has been got the pressure information in short time.
