The Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Method and Several Rheological Models of Blood Flow: A Review

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method can be applied for gaining insights to the most fluid processes and related phenomena. Applying CFD method in the investigation of physiological flows especially blood is one of the interesting topics for many researchers. Because of its significant effect on various human cardiovascular diseases and arterial diseases, extended knowledge of blood flow in physiological conditions is required. This review provided an overview of recent studies on the application of CFD method of blood flow inside the corkscrew artery, arterial stenoses, human patient-specific left ventricle and arteries affected by multiple aneurysms. Also, several rheological models for describing the blood rheology were discussed. Based on this review, it was concluded that the application of CFD method can help the medical practitioners in the patients’ treatment decision in the investigation of blood flow.
