Abstract

In this study, we performed a numerical analysis to investigate the effect of rotation on the blood flow and arterial wall behavior by using the FSI (fluid-structure interaction) technique. The geometry of the artery included 50% stenosis at the center. To simulate the rotational effect, 2-6 rps of axial velocity was applied to the arterial model. A spiral wave and asymmetric flow occurred due to the stenosis and axial rotation both in the rigid body model and in the FSI model. However, the arterial wall motion caused periodic and transient blood flow changes in the FSI model. The FRZ (fluid recirculation zone) decreased in the FSI model, which is a known predictor for the formation and vulnerability of plaque. Therefore, it is observed that arterial wall motion also influences the generation of the FRZ.

본 논문에서는 FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction)기법을 이용하여 인체 회전의 영향을 고려한 혈류와 혈관벽의 거동을 이해하기 위한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 혈관은 협착률이 50%이고 편심이 없는 형상이며 인체 회전 효과를 묘사하기 위하여 혈관 주축에 대해 2 ~ 6 rps 의 회전을 가하였다. 협착과 축 회전의 영향으로 나선형, 비대칭 유동이 강체와 FSI 모델에서 모두 나타났다. 그러나 FSI 모델에서 혈관벽 움직임의 영향으로 혈류의 주기적, 과도적 차이가 발생했다. 특히 혈관 내 경화반의 진전과 경화반 위험성을 나타내는 대표적인 인자로 알려진 유동 재순환 영역이 감소하였다. 혈관벽의 움직임은 협착과 회전효과와 마찬가지로 유동 재순환 영역의 생성에 영향을 미친다.
