Non-Newtonian Rheology in Blood Circulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Blood is a complex suspension that demonstrates several non-Newtonian rheological characteristics such as deformation-rate dependency, viscoelasticity and yield stress. In this paper we outline some issues related to the non-Newtonian effects in blood circulation system and present modeling approaches based mostly on the past work in this field.

Statistical analysis of the association between rheological properties of blood and atherosclerosis
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of non-Newtonian blood rheology models on the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a cohort of patients-specific coronary arteries. Twenty patients with diseased left anterior descending (LAD) coronary arteries (with varying degrees of stenosis severity from mild to severe) who underwent angiography and in-vivo pressure measurements were se...

• Blood has been recognized as a non-Newtonian fluid for many years. Only recently' have the rheological properties of blood been studied under shear rates near zero flow. These studies have suggested that the viscosity of blood increases indefinitely as the shear rate approaches zero. The problem of blood rheology under very low shear rates seemed to us worthy of further investigation, because...

In the present study, the nonlinear model of non-Newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. The model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. The vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. The cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...
متن کاملNon-Newtonian flow of blood in arterioles: consequences for wall shear stress measurements.
OBJECTIVE Our primary goal is to investigate the effects of non-Newtonian blood properties on wall shear stress in microvessels. The secondary goal is to derive a correction factor for the Poiseuille-law-based indirect measurements of wall shear stress. METHODS The flow is assumed to exhibit two distinct, immiscible and homogeneous fluid layers: an inner region densely packed with RBCs, and a...
متن کاملNewtonian viscosity model could overestimate wall shear stress in intracranial aneurysm domes and underestimate rupture risk.
OBJECTIVE Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of intracranial aneurysm hemodynamics usually adopt the simplification of the Newtonian blood rheology model. A study was undertaken to examine whether such a model affects the predicted hemodynamics in realistic intracranial aneurysm geometries. METHODS Pulsatile CFD simulations were carried out using the Newtonian viscosity model and ...
