Calculation of the Wall Shear Stress in the case of an Internal Carotid Artery with stenoses of different sizes

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

In this paper we use a non-Newtonian mathematical model for the blood flow in large vessels – elaborated and presented already by us in a previous paper [1]. We calculate and than compare the values of the wall shear stress, which has a special importance in the possible ruptures of vascular vessels (in the case of a human internal carotid artery with stenosis) in four different cases. The numerical simulations are made using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.3, and the results are compared to some already existing in the literature.
