The study demonstrates the significance of incorporating elastic wall behavior and magnetic fields in computational models of blood flow in stenosed bifurcated arteries.
Abstract In recent years, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis has generated remarkable interest of researchers in interdisciplinary sciences problems, for instance, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, i.e., incorporating elastic wall behaviour in human arteries. Here, in this paper, we considered incompressible Newtonian blood flow and the elastic bifurcated artery wall in a non-uniform magnetic field. The considered model of Biomagnetic Fluid Dynamics (BFD) describes both magnetization and electrical conductivity of blood. Moreover, an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is used by two-way fluid-structure interaction coupling of the problem. Finally, for discretization, a stable P 2 P 1 finite element pair is employed to approximate the displacement, velocity and pressure spaces independently and the resulting nonlinear algebraic system is linearized by implementing the Newtons procedure. A quantitative analysis is made against Reynolds number Re and Hartmann number Ha on the bifurcated artery amidst elastic walls showing noticeable effects on recirculation. Also, the displacement field is plotted against Ha for different values of Re and their converse behaviour is observed. The decreasing behaviour for the wall shear stresses of the bifurcated artery are also drawn in context of Ha and Re . Finally, the conclusion is drawn at the end showing the significance of the elastic behaviour of artery walls.
Anwar et al. (Fri,) conducted a other in Stenosed bifurcation artery. Biomagnetic Fluid Dynamics (BFD) modeling was evaluated on Fluid-structure interaction, recirculation, and wall shear stress. Computational fluid-structure interaction analysis demonstrated that Reynolds and Hartmann numbers have noticeable effects on recirculation and wall shear stresses in a bifurcated artery.
