Blood flow in the human vascular system is a complex to understand example of fluid
dynamics in a closed conduit. Any irregularities in the hemodynamics may lead to lethal …

The association between blood viscosity and pathological conditions involving a number of
organ systems is well known. However, how the body measures and maintains appropriate …

Numerical simulations of blood flow in arteries are important in the understanding and
diagnosis of many cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and arterial stenosis …

Background: The effects of non-Newtonian rheology and boundary conditions on various
pathophysiologies have been studied quite extensively in the literature. The majority of …

This study aims to investigate the elastic properties of blood for pulsatile arterial
hemodynamics in terms of their effects on velocity, vorticity and stress fields, as well as the …

The development of stent-grafts for the total repair of aneurysms in the aortic arch is still a
technical challenge due mainly to the anatomical complexity of this region. Research …

Purpose: To analyze the effect of the physiological deformation of the vessel wall on the
hemodynamics in the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), this paper compared the …

An aneurysm is a vascular malformation that can be classified according to its location
(cerebral, aortic) or shape (saccular, fusiform, and mycotic). Recently, the study of blood flow …

The arterial wall model adopted in the fluid-structural numerical simulations is directly
related to its mechanical response, as well as to the flow field. The work developed here …

In this study, a viscoelastic model with variable viscosity and relaxation-time is proposed for
the simulation of the blood flow in an arterial segment with two aneurysms. The Quemada …
