Abstract
- Abstract: In this work the unsteady non-Newtonian blood flow and mass transfer in symmetric and non-symmetric stenotic arteries are numerically simulated considering the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the code ADINA. Blood with hyperviscosity syndrome is considered and hyperelastic Mooney–Rivlin model is used for the compliant arterial wall. The inlet boundary condition of imposed velocity or pressure is critical to obtain realistic hemodynamic results in stenotic arteries. The FSI affects significantly the hemodynamics on the stenotic arteries models, the arteries are considerably dilated and compressed due the stenosis. The stenosis severity and geometry have important influence on recirculation length, and distribution of concentration of macromolecules, such as low density lipoproteins (LDL).
