Does not alter carotid stenosis management; leaves open validation of MRT-LB models for atherosclerosis research.
The local hemodynamic factor plays a vital role in the formation and progression of atherosclerosis. In this study, we simulated pulsatile flow patterns in the three-dimensional stenosed and normal carotid artery bifurcations throughout a cardiac cycle using the multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann (MRT-LB) method. Additionally, we investigated the time-varied flow rate and its division ratios between the parent and daughter branches, the multidirectionality of the stress field, and the averaged local energy dissipation rate. The results can be used in computational modeling of carotid artery hemodynamics and further investigation of the relationship between hemodynamics and cardiovascular diseases.
