Abstract

A numerical technique is employed to simulate the flow patterns in the human carotid artery and a phantom of the carotid artery made of acrylic material is used to observe the flow phenomena in the carotid artery. For numerical analysis the idealized geometric shape of the carotid artery is constructed to portray the phantom. Steady momentum equation is solved by the finite element method and the numerical results are compared with the results of MRA and color Doppler images.
