The Combined Effect of Pulsatile Inflow and Unsteady Geometry on Flow in Coronary Arteries
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Numerous investigations suggest that the complex flow fields occurring in medium and large arteries are related to the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Coronary arteries are among the most commonly diseased vessels. There are indications that flow pulsatility, as well as flexibility and motion of coronary artery during each contraction and expansion of the heart are important in the study of the flow features. The intention of the present work is to analyze the combined effect of pulsatile inflow and unsteady geometry on flow in a model of coronary artery at bifurcation.

متن کاملCombined effects of pulsatile flow and dynamic curvature on wall shear stress in a coronary artery bifurcation model.
A three-dimensional model with simplified geometry for the branched coronary artery is presented. The bifurcation is defined by an analytical intersection of two cylindrical tubes lying on a sphere that represents an idealized heart surface. The model takes into account the repetitive variation of curvature and motion to which the vessel is subject during each cardiac cycle, and also includes t...
