Abstract: Axisymmetric laminar blood flows in a stenotic model vessel are calculated by using a finite-difference scheme of the Navier-Stokes equations. The wavy lumen are transformed to a rectangular region with fine and irregular ...

Abstract: Nonlinear pulsatile blood flows in distensible vessels were calculated using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The time-dependent wavy lumen was mapped to a fixed rectangular domain. The transient geometric, kinematic, ...
