Non-Newtonian fluid flow in a stenosed coronary bypass is investigated numerically using the Carreau-Yasuda model for the shear thinning behavior of the blood. End-to-side coronary bypass anastomosis is considered in a simplified model geometry where the host coronary artery has a 75% severity stenosis. Different locations of the bypass graft to the stenosis and different flow rates in the graf...

in recent years, impinging streams have received increasing interest for their high efficiency in heat and mass transfer. this numerical study was conducted to investigate flow and heat transfer characteristics of one-way opposing jets of non-newtonian fluids. effects of reynolds number impinging angle, momentum ratio and flow behavior index on mixing index were evaluated. the results showed im...

This study looks at pulsatile blood flow through four different right coronary arteries, which have been reconstructed from biplane angiograms. A non-Newtonian blood model (the Generalised Power Law), as well as the usual Newtonian model of blood viscosity, is used to study the wall shear stress in each of these arteries over the entire cardiac cycle. The difference between Newtonian and non-Ne...

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...
