This article illustrates numerical results on pulsating blood flow through moderately stenosed blood vessel. Two kinds of waveform, that is, a purely sinusoidal waveform and a non-sinusoidal one just like human blood flow are calculated for two cases of heart rate as 60 and 160 (1/s), and resultant flow behavior such as flow velocities, secondary flow, wall shear stress and pressure change are discussed. The abrupt changes in the pressure and wall shear stress occur on the throat of the stenosis, suggesting that this part is easily damaged by the effects when the heart rate is increased.

The Relationship

The relationship between structural and hemodynamic heterogeneity of microvascular networks is examined by analyzing the effects of topological and geometric irregularities on network hemodynamics. Microscopic observations of a network in the rat mesentery provided data on length, diameter, and interconnection of all 913 segments. Two idealized network structures were derived from the observed network. In one, the topological structure was made symmetric; in another a further idealization was made by assigning equal lengths and diameters to all segments with topologically equivalent positions in the network. Blood flow through these three networks was simulated with a mathematical model based on experimental information on blood rheology. Overall network conductance and pressure distribution within the network were found to depend strongly on topological heterogeneity and less on geometric heterogeneity. In contrast, mean capillary hematocrit was sensitive to geometric heterogeneity but not to topological heterogeneity. Geometric and topological heterogeneity contributed equally to the dispersion of arteriovenous transit time. Hemodynamic characteristics of heterogeneous microvascular networks can only be adequately described if both topological and geometric variability in network structure are taken into account.

Flow Reversals

As it is known, the Womersley function models velocity as a function of radius and time. It has been widely used to simulate the pulsatile blood flow through circular ducts. In this context, the present study is focused on the introduction of a simple function as an approximation of the Womersley function in order to evaluate its accuracy. This approximation consists of a simple quadratic function, suitable to be implemented in most commercial and non-commercial computational fluid dynamics codes, without the aid of external mathematical libraries. The Womersley function and the new function have been implemented here as boundary conditions in OpenFOAM ESI software (v.1906). The discrepancy between the obtained results proved to be within 0.7%, which fully validates the calculation approach implemented here. This approach is valid when a simplified analysis of the system is pointed out, in which flow reversals are not contemplated.
