CFD Simulation of Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow in Arterial Stenoses with Surface Irregularities
نویسنده
چکیده
CFD simulations are carried out in arterial stenoses with 48 % areal occlusion. Non-newtonian fluid model is selected for the blood flow as the same problem has been solved before with Newtonian fluid model. Studies on flow resistance with the presence of surface irregularities are carried out. Investigations are also performed on the pressure drop at various Reynolds numbers. The present study revealed that the pressure drop across a stenosed artery is practically unaffected by surface irregularities at low Reynolds numbers, while flow features are observed and discussed at higher Reynolds numbers. Keywords—Blood flow, Roughness, Computational fluid dynamics, Bio fluid mechanics.

Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Simulation after Arterial Stenosis- Steady State and Pulsatile Approaches
Arterial stenosis, for example Atherosclerosis, is one of the most serious forms of arterial disease in the formation of which hemodynamic factors play a significant role. In the present study, a 3-D rigid carotid artery with axisymmetric stenosis with 75% reduction in cross-sectional area is considered. Laminar blood flow is assumed to have both Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior (generalize...
متن کاملEffects of surface geometry and non-newtonian viscosity on the flow field in arterial stenoses
Hemodynamics including flow pattern, shear stress, and blood viscosity characteristics has been believed to affect the development and progression of arterial stenosis, but previous studies lack of realistic physiological considerations such as irregular surface geometry, non-Newtonian viscosity characteristics and flow pulsatility. The effects of surface irregularities and non-Newtonian viscos...
