Abstract

In this paper, the numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) used for modeling the flow in the cardiovascular system are investigated using the Finite Element Method (FEM). A fully discrete solution scheme of the NSE and its stability and error analysis are presented. Artificial viscosity stabilization is added to the fully discrete scheme to better model the real flow structure and to remove non-physical oscillations. Numerical tests are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the resulting scheme. Simulations analyzing the flow structure in the case of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and brain aneurysm are presented in detail along with wall shear stress values.
