The formation of blood clots—thrombosis—at sites of atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a
major clinical problem despite ongoing improvements in antithrombotic therapy. Progress in …

The central importance of platelets in the development of arterial thrombosis and
cardiovascular disease is well established. No other single cell type is responsible for as …

Symmetrical 30–60% stenosis in a common carotid artery under unsteady flow condition for
Newtonian and six non-Newtonian viscosity models are investigated numerically. Results …

The problem of non-Newtonian and nonlinear blood flow through a stenosed artery is solved
numerically where the non-Newtonian rheology of the flowing blood is characterised by the …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) MRI-based computational model with multicomponent
plaque structure and fluid–structure interactions (FSI) is introduced to perform mechanical …

A straight tube with a smooth axisymmetric constriction is an idealized representation of a
stenosed artery. We examine the three-dimensional instabilities and transition to turbulence …

The blood flow dynamics of a stenosed, subject-specific, carotid bifurcation were numerically
simulated using the spectral element method. Pulsatile inlet conditions were based on in …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the
western world. In the last three decades, fluid dynamics investigations have been an …

Hemodynamics factors and biomechanical forces play key roles in atherogenesis, plaque
development and final rupture. In this paper, we investigated the flow field and stress field for …

Background Local hemodynamics plays an important role in atherogenesis and the
progression of coronary atherosclerosis disease (CAD). The primary biological effect due to …
