A Numerical Analysis of Blood Flow in Clogged Artery

Abstract

The artery wall gets stressed due to the variation in pressure of the blood flow passing through it. When this pressure subsides, these arterial walls dilate in reaction to increasing blood pressure and contract. The additional simulation focused on determining when there is a blockage inside an artery, the velocity and wall shear stress. The current simulation focused on determining the velocity, pressure and wall shear stress when there is a different stages of blockage present inside an artery. This paper has extended the simulation with the blockage developed at the symmetric or asymmetric condition inside the arteries. The analysis of blockage expressed with flow contour, pressure, wall shear stress and velocity. This work explains completed simulations with 10% to 80% blockage at different Reynolds number as 50,100,500,1000, and 4000. More particularly, focused on understanding the functioning and morbidity related to vital organs of the human anatomy with maximum shear stress. The result suggested that how these parameters vary according to the above stated cases and the stage of critical situation. The parameters set in the study at hand aim to resolve the complexity of the procedure by eons and can be utilized in placing a design of set apparatus which will greatly help in increasing the mortality among ailing humans.
