Abstract

The objective of present study is to obtain information about stenosis effects on the blood flow in the coronary artery bifurcation. The three dimensional steady of blood in the coronary artery bifurcation with stenosis and without stenosis are simulated using the finite volume method. Apparent viscosity of blood is represented as a function of shear rate by the Carreau models. Velocities vectors and wall shear stresses along the branch tubes with stenosis are compared with those of without stenosis for steady flows. Flow phenomena in the stenosed branch tubes are discussed extensively.
