Abstract
AbstractThis paper deals with a numerical solution of laminar incompressible steady flows of Newtonian and non–Newtonian fluids through bypass of a restricted vessel. Blood flow is considered to be Newtonian in the case of vessels of large diameters as aorta. On the other hand, with decreasing diameter of a vessel the non–Newtonian behavior of blood can play a significant role. One could describe these problems using Navier–Stokes equations and continuity equation as a model. In the case of Newtonian fluids one considers constant viscosity compared to non–Newtonian fluids where viscosity varies and can depend on the tensor of deformation. In order to find numerical solution, the system of equations is completed using an artificial compressibility method. The space derivatives are discretised using a cell centered finite volume method and arising system of ordinary differential equations is solved using an explicit multistage Runge–Kutta method with given steady boundary conditions. The steady solution is achieved for time t→∞ and steady boundary conditions. The results can be used in the field of cardiovascular research. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
