Abstract

Hemodynamics behavior of the blood flow is influenced by the presence of the arterial stenosis. If stenosis is present in an artery, normal blood flow is disturbed. In the present study, characteristics of steady and pulsatile flow of non-Newtonian fluid, the effects of stenosised geometry are analyzed by numerical simulation. One interesting point is that non-symmetric solutions were obtained at severity stenosis, although the stenosis and the boundary condition were all axisymmetric.
