Modeling of non-Newtonian Blood Flow through a Stenosed Artery Incorporating Fluid-Structure Interaction

چکیده
This study investigated fluid and structural responses to pulsatile non-Newtonian blood flow through a stenosed artery, using ANSYS. The artery was modeled as an axis-symmetric stenosed vessel. The wall of the vessel was set to be isotropic and elastic. The blood behavior was described by the Power Law and Carreau non-Newtonian models, respectively. When compared to the Newtonian flow models, the result from Carreau model showed very little difference, in terms of velocity, pressure and wall shear stress, whereas the result from Power Law model showed more significant vortices and smaller wall shear stresses. The highest stress concentration was also found at the throat of the stenosis.

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 ...
