Abstract:This article presents a new open‐source solver within the OpenFOAM framework, to provide a cost‐free alternative to commercial software for simulating blood flows and the transport of low‐density lipoproteins (LDL) in arteries. The proposed algorithm utilizes the velocity field obtained from the hemodynamics computation to solve an advection‐diffusion equation governing a passive scalar variable, that represents the cholesterol concentration in blood. Moreover, two customized boundary conditions, namely period… Show more
