Revealing the Hemodynamic Orchestra: Contrasting Analysis of Blood Flow Patterns in a Bifurcated Carotid Artery
Abstract: Understanding blood flow patterns in the carotid artery (CA) is crucial for detecting cardiovascular diseases. Computational fluid dynamics simulations compared non-Newtonian (non-Newt) and Newtonian (Newt) models under pulsatile and laminar flow. CA geometry was accurately designed using ANSYS Space Claim & Fusion360, and simulations were run in ANSYS Fluent. Discrepancies between non-Newt and Newt models were found, especially in bifurcation's distal regions prone to plaque. Pressure ranged from 27.870 Pa …
