Calculation of the Wall Shear Stress in the Case of a Stenosed Internal Carotid Artery

Titus Petrila, Balazs Albert

Abstract :

In this paper we use a non–Newtonian mathematical model for the blood flow in large vessels – elaborated and presented in a previous paper (Albert, Vacaras, Trif & Petrila, 2013), for making some numerical simulations in the case of a human internal carotid artery with a stenosis. We concentrate on the calculation of the wall shear stress, which is believed to have a special importance in the possible ruptures of vascular vessels. The numerical simulations are made using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.3, and the results are compared to some already existing in the literature.
