Abstract

When the systolic blood pressure is high, intermittent turbulence in blood flow appears in the aorta and carotid artery with stenosis during the systolic period. The turbulent blood flow is difficult to analyze using the Newtonian turbulence model due to the viscous characteristics of blood flow. As the shear rate is increased, the blood viscosity decreases by the viscoelastic properties of blood and a drag reduction phenomenon occurs in turbulent blood flow. Therefore, a new non-Newtonian turbulent model is required for viscoelastic fluid and hemodynamics. The main aims of this study were to develop a non-Newtonian turbulence model using the drag reduction phenomenon based on the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model for a general non-Newtonian fluid. This was validated with the experimental data and has a good tendency for non-Newtonian turbulent flow. In addition, the computation time and resources were lower than those of the low Reynolds number turbulent model. A modified turbulent model was used to analyze various turbulent blood flows.

대동맥이나 협착된 경동맥에서는 심장수축기에 간헐적으로 난류현상이 발생하고 있으며, 혈액의 점성특성으로 인해 기존 난류모델로는 정확한 해석이 어려운 실정이다. 혈류는 점탄성 유체의 성질을 가지고 있어 유체의 전단 변형률 증가에 따라 점도가 감소하는 점탄성 유체이며, 이러한 점탄성 유체는 난류 유동시 저항 감소 현상이 발생한다. 기존의 난류해석 모델들은 점성변화가 없는 뉴턴 유체에 적합한 모델들이 대부분이기 때문에, 점탄성 유체의 저항 감소 현상을 고려한 비뉴턴 유체 해석에 적합한 난류 모델개발이 필요하다. 본 논문은 난류 모델 가운데 수렴성이 좋고 해석시간이 짧은 표준 $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델을 기반으로 저항 완충 함수를 이용하여 비뉴턴 유체의 저항감소 현상을 해석할 수 있는 수정된 난류모델을 제시하였으며, 이를 기존 난류모델들과 비교하여 제시된 난류 모델을 검증하였다. 새로 제시된 수정된 난류모델은 벽함수 및 점성저층을 고려하지 않았기 때문에 해석시간이 대폭적으로 감소하였으며, 적은 격자수를 이용하여 효율적으로 비뉴턴 유체의 난류 현상을 해석할 수 있기 때문에 향후 혈류해석 및 점탄성유체 해석에 적용할 예정이다.
