Study on the Blood Flow with Rolling Manipulation of Traditional Chinese Massage

A 2D model of a blood vessel under rolling manipulation (RM) is presented. The numerical simulations of blood flow are based on lattice Boltzmann method. It is found thatRMcan increase the blood flow. DifferentRMfrequency () has different influence on flow. When the frequency is equal to the pulsing flow frequency,the average flow over one period is the largest. Streamlines diagrams in different time when are given. Vortexes can be seen in the region under the stenosis. The distributions of streamlines change periodically.
