Abstract
The objectives of the present study are to numerically and experimentally investigate the steady and<br/> pulsatile flow phenomena in the circular tubes, to quantitatively compare the flow characteristics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian tluids, and to tind meaningful hemodynamic information through the flow analysis in the human blood vessels. The particle image velocimetry is adopted to visualize the flow tie Ids in the circular tube. and the results from the particle image velocimetry are used to validate the results of the numerical analysis. In order to investigate the blood flow phenomena in the circular tube, constitutive equations. which are suitable to describe the rheological properties of the non-Newtonian fluids. arc determined. and the steady and pulsatile momentum equations are solved by the finite volume prediction. The velocity vectors of the steady and pulsatile flow in the circular tube obtained by the particle image velocimetry are in good agreement with those by the numerical analysis. For the given mass flow rate. the axial velocity pro tiI es of the Newtonian and the non-Newtonian fluids appear differently. The pulsatile flow phenomena of the Newtonian and the non-Newtonian fluids are quite different from those of the steady flow.<br/>
