Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Blood Flow Pattern - A Review
Bharath Ganesan, Karthikeyan Mayakrishnan
Abstract: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has made impressive progress in the past decade and has evolved into a promising design tool for the development of biomedical devices. Rheology deals with the flow and deformations of fluids in a set of given conditions Blood being a biological fluid has its own behaviour and rheology, flow pattern of blood varies during the flow of blood in the blood vessels in the body. The utilization of computational fluid dynamics in the analysis of blood behaviour has been discussed and the potential for developing an instrumentation using flow pattern is analysed.
