Pulsatile blood flow in elastic artery with model aneurysm
Abstract
The mathematical modeling and numerical simulations are expected to play an important role to predict the genesis of different cardiovascular diseases, such as the formation and rupture of aneurysms. In the present work, the numerical solutions of the oscillatory blood flow are constructed for an elastic artery with a model aneurysm by use of the software ANSYS. It is observed that the artery elastic strain behaves in a different way: stably or unstably depending on the different combinations between the flow parameter (outlet pressure) and the elastic modulus of the artery wall.
