Abstract

This research presents the analysis of blood flow passed carotid bifurcation that are clogged with fat. Blood flow unsteadiness is due to the heart-imposed temporal variations which occur during cardiac cycle. The effects of the Newtonian and Non-Newtonian blood’s flow behavior are computed. In this study, the one way fluid–solid interaction (FSI) technique is used to calculate the flow behavior and stress distribution on blood vessel. The results can show the effects from various blood's flow analyses that provide the different wall shear stresses from computation technique. Consequentially, the tendency of potential risks that caused by the plaque rapture can be predicted more accurately and used as a supportive tool for the artery stenosis diagnosis as well.
