Numerical simulation of electroosmotic force on micropolar pulsatile bloodstream through aneurysm and stenosis of carotid

Abstract

Smoking and hypertension are significant risk factors for atherosclerotic carotid artery disease, but also for intracranial aneurysms. The medical results suggest incidental intracranial aneurysms in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis arteries. Which led to a study of the comparison between stenosis and aneurysm segments through the artery. A mathematical and numerical model for blood solidification and its rupture in a diseased artery is described in this paper. The interaction between the blood flow and a diseased arterial wall was formulated. The blood flow is formulated as a micropolar incompressible fluid with heat and mass transfer under the control of electro-osmotic and electromagnetic forces through an artery that contains stenosis and aneurysms. The approximation of mild stenosis is used to derive the governing flow equation, which is then solved using a method of finite difference. Particular attention is paid to the impact on axial velocity, flow rate, resistance impedance, and wall shear stress of geometrical parameters of the arterial wall and rheological blood parameters. In the instantaneous pattern of streamlines, the global behavior of blood is also investigated. Finally, the effect of all parameters on the blood flow through artery whose stenosis and aneurysm are investigated as a comparison of both segments.
