Investigation of Blood Flow across Stenosis in an Artery

Coronary artery diseases (CAD) is the leading cause of death across all over the world. The primary cause of CAD is Atherosclerosis, which reduces the coronary lumen because of the formation of plaque on the inner walls of coronary artery. It iswell known that plaque are frequently formed at bifurcations and curvature of vessels. There aremany studies that reported a direct link between stenosis and the hemodynamic parameters such as wall shear stress and flow pattern. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) is an emerging are which is useful in the diagnostic management of the cardiovascular system. The present work deals with the analyses of the porous artery parameters such as; bifurcation angulation, curvature porous structure and so on, pertaining to the coronary artery is carried out. The in vivo measurement is analyzed using CFD technique.
