Blood clot formation in the heart vessels begins with damage to the vessel wall. This triggers the deposition of platelets at the site of injury. Finally, to stabilize the clot, a fibrin network forms over the accumulated platelets. In this study, a mathematical model was employed to analyze the growth of blood clots in stenosed vessels. The blood hydrodynamics were modeled by solving the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations, while the transport species involved in biological reactions were captured using the convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The simulations were conducted using Fluent software in two modes: fixed geometry and moving geometry. In the fixed geometry case, platelet...
