Three dimensional numerical analysis of hemodynamic of stenosed artery considering realistic outlet boundary conditions

摘要

Background and objective: Mortality rate increases globally among which one third is due to diseased blood vessels. Due to late diagnoses of the disease in vessels (severe stenoses), qualitative and rapid assessment becomes difficult. Earlier assessment of stenoses can lead to formulation of effective treatment protocol. It is often found that proliferation of secondary stenoses at downstream of a stenosed vessel depends on the degree of severity of primary stenoses. Numerical investigation of flow dynamics of blood in such condition helps in prediction of distributed field of secondarystenoses. This investigation also requires consideration of rigorous boundary conditions at inlet and outlet of defined flow domain.
