Simulation of blood flow in human aorta with emphasis on outlet boundary conditions

Analysis of the effects of different pulsatile inlet profiles on the hemodynamical properties of blood flow in patient specific carotid artery with stenosis

“…This is still an active research area and there are recent studies reported in the literature focusing on blood flow simulation in large arteries. Most of them use either artificial models [35,12,32,33] or real geometries of carotid artery [47,45,24,5,34] or artificially modelled [19,23] or real geometries of aorta [6,2,3,13,27,26]. It is specifically important to investigate the mechanical properties such as velocity, pressure and wall shear stress (WSS) of blood flow in real artery geometries with diseases.…”

Accuracy vs. computational time: Translating aortic simulations to the clinic

“…The extracted surface was meshed using ICEM-CFD (ANSYS Inc, Cannonsburg, USA) with approximately 500,000 tetrahedral elements employed to discretise the fluid domain. This is comparable to other aortic analyses reported in the literature (Lagana et al, 2005;Migliavacca et al, 2006;Benim et al, 2011;Moireau et al, 2011). The structural domain was discretised with approximately 35,000 tri-noded shell elements.…”

Simulation of Blood flow in Artificial Heart Valve Design through Left heart

“…Assume the flow is laminar and steady state. The density and dynamic viscosity of the blood is 1060 kg/m-3 and 0.0035 Pa s respectively [6].…”
