동맥에 대한 기계 역학적인 연구역사는 30년에 이르고 있다. 그 연구 성과로 말미암아 동맥의 물성 파악, 동맥의 인조화, 동맥의 의학적인 시술에 대한 공학적인 평가 분석 및 제안, 동맥의 생리학적인 현상에 대한 이해 보강, 병리 현상의 공학적인 분석 및 예고, 공학적인 현상과 조직학적인 현상에 대한 연관성 파악 및 응용등, 많은 공헌을 하고 있다. 동맥에 대한 공학적인 연구학문을 동맥역학(Arterial Mechanics)이라 한다. 동맥역학의 궁극적 분석겨로가는 동맥에 대한 물성과 혈압으로 인한 변형율과 응력에 관한 것이다. 동맥의 물성 파악은 혈류와 Mass Transport의 효과로 인한 동맥의 질병양태에 대한 해석을 돕고 있다. 또한 동맥의 병리현상과 생리현상을 이해하는 데에 변형율과 응력 분포도가 중요한 요소로 역할을 하고 있다. 동맥의 연구 방법론적 고찰의 내용은 실험이나 데이터 분석방법이 비슷하기 때문에 동맥 외의 인체의 soft tissue(피부, 심장, 근육, 눈등)에 대한 연구고찰이라고도 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 현재까지 진행된 주요한 연구를 고찰하고 동맥 역학에 대한 관심과 인식을 고취시키는 데에 그 목적이 있다.

In the present study, CFD simulations were conducted for investigating intra-aneurysmal flow characteristics with different stent porosities ($C_{\alpha}$ = 80%, 74%, and 64%), and the simulation results were compared with experimental data. Using a quadratic tetrahedral element-based finite element scheme, we estimated velocity fields and wall shear stress. The intra-aneurysmal velocity reduction ratios obtained via simulation agree well with published experimental data. It was found that a stent with a porosity of 80%, which is highest in the present study, is able to effectively reduce flow into the aneurysm, which causes intra-aneurysmal stasis, and that stents with lower porosities afford only incremental benefits in reducing inflow to an aneurysm.

In image-based CFD modeling of carotid bifurcation hemodynamics, it is often not possible (or at least not convenient) to impose measured velocity profiles at the common carotid artery inlet. Instead, fully-developed velocity profiles are usually imposed based on measured flow rates. However, some studies reported a pronounced influence of inflow boundary conditions that were based on actual velocity profiles measured by magnetic resonance imaging which showing the unusual presence of a high velocity band in the middle of the vessel during early diastole inconsistent with a Dean-type velocity profile. We demonstrated that those velocity profiles were induced by the presence of modest secondary curvature of the inlet and set about to test whether such more "realistic" velocity profiles might indeed have a more pronounced influence on the carotid bifurcation hemodynamics. We found that inlet boundary condition with axisymmetric fully-developed velocity profile(Womersley flow) is reasonable as long as sufficient CCA inlet length of realistic geometry is applied.

동맥의 일부분의 팽창하는 동맥류는 높은 사망률을 야기하는 혈관계 질환이다. 동맥류의 발생 및 파열에는 동맥류 내부의 혈류의 유동에 의한 혈관벽 전단 응력 및 압력이 주용한 원인 중 하나로 의심되고 있다. 복부대동맥류 내부의 혈류 유동 특성을 밝히기 위해서 동맥류의 최대 확장부가 복부동맥의 1.5배, 2배인 유리 모델을 제작하였다. 정상류 상태에서 다양한 레이놀즈수에 대해서 속도 및 난동도를 입자영상속도계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 경계층 박리로 인한 재순환 부분이 끝나는 재부착점은 동맥류 최대 확장부 후부에서 발생하였으며, 이 위치는 레이놀즈수의 변화에 따라 바뀌었다. 축방향 속도의 난동은 최대 확장부 후부에서 크게 나타났으며, 이 위치에서 난동에 의한 부가적 응력이 크며 혈관벽 구조변화가 발생하리라 예측된다. 동맥류 내부의 압력분포는 수치해석에 의해 계산되었다. 동맥류 내부 압력은 크기가 증가함에 따라 커졌으며 압력은 동맥류 최대 확장부 후부에서 발생하는 재부착점에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 동맥류 최대확장부 후부는 압력이 최대값을 가지며, 전단력의 변화 및 난동이 큰 지역이므로 동맥류의 파열이 발생하기 쉬운 지역으로 예측된다.

Coronary arteries are subjected to very different flow conditions compared to other arteries in systemic blood circulation. We Performed a computational fluid dynamic research to investigate influence of such flow conditions in coronary arteries on development and progress of atherosclerosis in the same. The results showed big differences in the flow field of the coronary artery compared to the abdominal and femoral arteries. The coronary artery showed higher wall shear stresses due to the small vessel diameter. On the other hand, it showed only one vortex distal to the stenosis throat during a whole pulse cycle. However. several vortices were observed in the abdominal and femoral arteries in both proximal and distal sides of the stenosis throat The wall shear stresses and extent of recirculation area were increased with impedance phase angle increasing toward more negative values. Therefore, cardiac contraction and the negative impedance phase angle as large as -110。 may induce a flow field that accelerates atherosclerosis.

In this study, we Presented computational results on the blood flow in the sac of the Korean artificial heart. Two dimensional unsteady flow was assumed and we utilized a finite element commercial code ADINA to simulate the blood flow. Rigid body-solid contact were considered between the actuator and the blood sac and fluid-structure interaction between the blood and the sac. The three geometric models proposed in the design process were simulated to assess the hemodynamic characteristics of the models According to the computational results, a strong flow to the outlet and a stagnated flow region near the inlet were observed during systole. The sac was filled with blood and recirculating flow was generated near the outlet during diastole. Shear stress during systole had its extreme values near the outlet edge whereas the magnitude of shear stress values were relative)v high near the inlet edge and the contacting surface with the actuator.

Coil embolization technique has been used recently to treat cerebral aneurysms. When a giant or a multilobular aneurysm are treated by roils, filling an aneurysm sac completely with coils is difficult and partial blocking of an aneurysm sac is inevitable. Blood flow characteristics, which nay affect the embolization process of an aneurysm sac, are changed by the locations of coils for the Partially blocked aneurysms. Blood flow fields are also influenced by the geometry of a parent vessel. In order to suggest the coil locations effective for aneurysm embolization, the blood flow fields of lateral aneurysm models were analyzed for the different coil locations and parent vessel geometries. Three dimensional pulsatile flow fields are analyzed by numerical methods considering non-Newtonian viscosity characteristics of blood. Flow rate into the aneurysm sac (inflow rate) and wall shear stress, which are suspected as flow dynamic factors influencing aneurysm embolization, are also calculated. Inflow rates were smaller and the low wall shear stress zones were larger in the neck blocked models compared to the dome blocked models. Smaller inflow and larger low wall shear stress zones in the distal neck blocked model imply that the distal neck should be the effective coil locations for aneurysm embolization.

In this study, blood flow in a carotid artery supplying blood to the human's brain has been numerically simulated to find out how the blood flow affects the genesis and the growth of atherosclerosis and arterial thrombosis. Velocity Profiles and hemodynamic parameters have been investigated for the carotid arteries with three different stenoses under physiological flow condition. Blood has been treated as Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. To model the shear thinning properties of blood for non-Newtonian fluid, the Carreau-Yasuda model has been employed. The result shows that the wall shear stress(WSS) increases with the development of stenosis and that the wall shear stress in Newtonian fluid is highly evaluated compared with that in non-Newtonian Fluid. Oscillatory shear index has been employed to identify the time-averaged reattachment point and this point is located farther from the stenosis for Newtonian fluid than for non-Newtonian fluid The wall shear stress gradient(WSSG) along the wall has been estimated to be very high around the stenosis region when stenosis is developed much and the WSSG peak value of Newtonian fluid is higher than that of non-Newtonian fluid.

The present study is carried out in order to investigate the effect of the periodic acceleration in the stenosed and bifurcated blood vessels. The blood flow and wall shear stress are changed under body movement or acceleration variation. Numerical studies are performed for various periodic acceleration phase angles, bifurcation angles and section area ratios of inlet and outlet. It is found that blood flow and wall shear stress are changed about ${\pm}20%$ and ${\pm}24%$ as acceleration phase angle variation with the same periodic frequency. also wall shear stress and blood flow rate are decreased as bifurcation angle increased.

The moyamoya disease is a type of cerebrovascular disease which produces thin abnormal blood vessels like haze in the brain base because the end of internal carotid artery which supplies about 80% of blood is blocked. Regarding this moyamoya disease, the shearing stress and thrombus generation are mentioned as its main causes. This study three-dimensionally implemented the ICA, ACA, and MCA parts of the cerebrovascular configuration related to the moyamoya disease, and analyzed the hydrodynamic phenomenon with the commercial program ADINA. In particular, the correlations between shearing stress and speed distribution according to the branch angle of ACA and MCA. A numerical analysis found that the greater the branch angle of ACA and MCA, the lower the shearing stress and the greater the stationary area of the flow.. Put Abstract text here.
