Researchers have done a lot of studies about the use of CFS in blood flow modeling in order to improve the supplementary devices or find mechanical factors which cause artery to be diseased. Blood is a complex rheological fluid, blood flow is a pulastile flow, and blood flow field interacts with the deformable vessel wall. Thus, blood flow modeling like other biological phenomena has its own complexities such as anisotropy, vsicoelasticity, and nonlinearity in stress-strain relationship of vessel wall. To explore the role of hemodynamics in the initiation and progression of stenosis in carotid artery bifurcation, a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique is applied. The effect of...
