NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE BLOOD FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF STENOSED AND BIFURCATED BLOOD VESSELS WITH A PHASE ANGLE CHANGE OF A PERIODIC ACCELERATION

주기 가속도 위상변화에 따른 협착 및 분지 혈관의 혈류 특성에 대한 수치해석적 연구

The present study is carried out in order to investigate the effect of the periodic acceleration in the stenosed and bifurcated blood vessels. The blood flow and wall shear stress are changed under body movement or acceleration variation. Numerical studies are performed for various periodic acceleration phase angles, bifurcation angles and section area ratios of inlet and outlet. It is found that blood flow and wall shear stress are changed about ${\pm}20%$ and ${\pm}24%$ as acceleration phase angle variation with the same periodic frequency. also wall shear stress and blood flow rate are decreased as bifurcation angle increased.
