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...

(i) A study of the fluids in simple flow situations, such as those found in Rheometry. (ii) The construction of suitable constitutive equations for the non-Newtonian fluids under test. (iii) The use of these constitutive equations in the prediction of behavior in complex flows of practical importance. (iv) An experimental study of the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in the complexflow situatio...

flow field and heat transfer of a nanofluid, whose non-newtonian behavior has been demonstrated in the laboratory, in a square enclosure have been numerically modeled and investigated. to estimate the viscosity of nanofluid, experimental data of hong and kim, 2012 have been used, and a new model has been proposed. finally, the obtained results have been compared to those of newtonian behavior. ...

A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose flow properties differ in many ways from those of Newtonian fluids. Most commonly the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids is not independent of shear rate or shear rate history. In practice, many fluid materials exhibits non-Newtonian fluid behavior such as: salt solutions, molten, ketchup, custard, toothpaste, starch suspensions, paint, blood, and shampoo e...

in this paper, changes of casson non-newtonian fluid velocity profile, for different distribution of porosity, have been investigated. for distribution of porosity, fixed, radial and exponential variations has been considered. for all three states, brinkman model has been used as momentum equation. since the casson fluid is a good model for blood, this analysis can be used in studying about cho...

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...

Pulsatile blood flow in an aorta of normal subject is studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The main intention of this study is to determine the influence of the non-Newtonian nature of blood on a pulsatile flow through an aorta. The usual Newtonian model of blood viscosity and a nonNewtonian blood model are used to study the velocity distributions, wall pressure and wall s...

the high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. however, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. the objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...
