ABSTRACT:
A computer simulation of the blood flow in a patient
specific atherosclerotic right coronary artery is carried out to study the
blood flow pattern and the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in the artery.
Both temporal and special distribution patterns of the WSS of the non-Newtonian
blood flow are presented and the regions on the lumen surface where the WSS is
constantly lower than 1N/m2are identified.
