Abstract
Blood is indeed a suspension of the different type of cells along with shear thinning, yield stress and viscoelastic characteristics, which can be expressed by Newtonian and a lot of non-Newtonian models. Choosing Newtonian fluid as a sample, an unsteady solver for Newtonian fluid is constructed to determine the transient flow of blood in the obscure region. In this probe, the computational unsteady flow of blood in artery with aneurysm and symmetric stenosis has been considered, which is novelty of current research. The results of this investigation can be applied to detect stenotic-aneurysmal diseases and enhance knowledge of the stenotic-aneurysmal artery, which may increase the understanding of medical science. The blood artery is modeled as a circular tube having a 0.3-m radius and a 2-m length along the horizontal axis. The velocity of blood is taken at 0.12 ms-1 so that the geometry satisfies the characteristics of the blood vessel. The governing mass and momentum equations are then solved by finite difference technique of discretization. In this research, important variations in blood pressure and velocity at stenosis and aneurysms in the artery are found. The significant influences on blood flow of the stenotic-aneurysmal artery for pressure and velocity profiles of blood are displayed graphically for the Newtonian model.

Abstract
Arterial stenosis is a common cardiovascular disease that restricts blood flow. A stenotic blood vessel creates tangent stress pressure, which lessens the arterial side and causes an aneurysm. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate blood flowing via an inclination pipe with stricture and expansion after stricture (widening) underneath the influence of a constant incompressible Casson liquid flowing with the magnetism field. The relations for surface shearing stress, pressure drop, flow resistance, and velocity are calculated analytically by applying a mild stenosis approximation. The effect of different physical characteristics on liquid impedance to flowing, velocity, and surface shearing stress are studied. With a non-Newtonian aspect of the Casson liquid, the surface shearing stress declines, and an impedance upturn. Side resistivity and shear-stress increase with the elevations of stricture, whilst together decreasing with a dilatation height.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:854109. [PMID: 35497360 PMCID: PMC9043283 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.854109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: We examined the correlation between changes in hemodynamic characteristics induced by arterial stenosis and vascular endothelial cell (EC) morphology and gene expression in straight silicone arteries. Materials and methods: Transparent silicone straight artery models with four degrees of stenosis (0, 30, 50, and 70%) were fabricated. Particle image velocimetry was performed to screen silicone vessel structures with good symmetry and to match the numerical simulations. After the inner surface of a symmetric model was populated with ECs, it was perfusion-cultured at a steady flow rate. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was conducted under the same perfusion conditions as in the flow experiment. The high-WSS region was then identified by CFD simulation. EC morphology in the high-WSS regions was characterized by confocal microscopy. ECs were antibody-stained to analyze the expression of inflammatory factors, including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and nuclear factor (NF)-κB, which were then correlated with the CFD simulations. Results: As the degree of vascular stenosis increases, more evident jet flow occurs, and the maximum WSS position moves away first and then back. ECs were irregularly shaped at vortex flow regions. The number of gaps between the cells in high-WSS regions increased. The MMP-9 and NF-κB expression did not differ between vessels with 30 and 0% stenosis. When arterial stenosis was 70%, the MMP-9 and NF-κB expression increased significantly, which correlated with the regions of substantially high WSS in the CFD simulations. Conclusion: Stenotic arteries induce hemodynamic stress variations, which contribute to differences in EC morphology and gene expression. A high degree of vascular stenosis can directly increase inflammatory factor expression.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the biological flow mechanisms in a diseased curved artery during the flow of nano-Bingham–Papanastasiou fluid. The occurrence of stenosis and aneurysm is common in the arterial system, caused by narrowing or dilation of arteries owing to the development of abnormal tissues such as atherosclerotic plaques. The growth of these cells into the lumen of the artery disturbs the flow through the artery. For the treatments of hematological diseases and manufacturing nanoscale biomedical devices, nanofluids are very effective and gaining a lot of attention. In this study, Buongiorno’s nanofluid model is used for nanoscale effects and Bingham–Papanastasiou fluid is employed to study the hemodynamic rheology. An appropriate geometric expression is formulated to project two diseased segments in a curved artery. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are formulated for the case of mild stenosis. To solve the governing equations, an explicit finite difference scheme is used. The biological flow mechanisms are depicted through graphs, and flow patterns are presented for important flow parameters.

Abstract
The interest in the development of blood analogues has been increasing recently as a consequence of the increment in the number of experimental hemodynamic studies and the difficulties associated with the manipulation of real blood in vitro because of ethical, economical or hazardous issues. Although one-phase Newtonian and non-Newtonian blood analogues can be found in the literature, there are very few studies related to the use of particulate solutions in which the particles mimic the behaviour of the red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes. One of the most relevant effects related with the behaviour of the erythrocytes is a cell-free layer (CFL) formation, which consists in the migration of the RBCs towards the center of the vessel forming a cell depleted plasma region near the vessel walls, which is known to happen in in vitro microcirculatory environments. Recent studies have shown that the CFL enhancement is possible with an insertion of contraction and expansion region in a straight microchannel. These effects are useful for cell manipulation or sorting in lab-on-chip studies. In this experimental study we present particulate Newtonian and non-Newtonian solutions which resulted in a rheological blood analogue able to form a CFL, downstream of a microfluidic hyperbolic contraction, in a similar way of the one formed by healthy RBCs.

Biorheological Model on Flow of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid through a Tapered Arterial Stenosis with Dilatation. Appl Bionics Biomech 2015; 2015:406195.

Abstract
An analysis of blood flow through a tapered artery with stenosis and dilatation has been carried out where the blood is treated as incompressible Herschel-Bulkley fluid. A comparison between numerical values and analytical values of pressure gradient at the midpoint of stenotic region shows that the analytical expression for pressure gradient works well for the values of yield stress till 2.4. The wall shear stress and flow resistance increase significantly with axial distance and the increase is more in the case of converging tapered artery. A comparison study of velocity profiles, wall shear stress, and flow resistance for Newtonian, power law, Bingham-plastic, and Herschel-Bulkley fluids shows that the variation is greater for Herschel-Bulkley fluid than the other fluids. The obtained velocity profiles have been compared with the experimental data and it is observed that blood behaves like a Herschel-Bulkley fluid rather than power law, Bingham, and Newtonian fluids. It is observed that, in the case of a tapered stenosed tube, the streamline pattern follows a convex pattern when we move from r/R = 0 to r/R = 1 and it follows a concave pattern when we move from r/R = 0 to r/R = −1. Further, it is of opposite behaviour in the case of a tapered dilatation tube which forms new information that is, for the first time, added to the literature.

Abstract
The objective of this paper was to evaluate the ability of the peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) and pressure drop (DeltaP) to detect and grade multiple stenoses in lower limb mimicking arteries. Numerical simulations and experiments in vascular phantoms allowing ultrasound duplex scanning and pressure measurements were used to investigate simple and double stenotic arterial segments. Inter-stenotic distance, severity of the distal stenosis, flow rate and flow profile (steady or pulsatile) were the tested parameters. The three-dimensional simulations considered the turbulent two-equation Wilcox model. Agreements were observed between the experimental and numerical results for DeltaP and PSVR. The maximum PSVR along the artery was shown to be mainly influenced by the severity of the most important stenosis. However, mutual interactions of both stenoses on hemodynamics were noted. By using the clinical PSVR threshold used to diagnose critical lesions (PSVR > or = 2), its longitudinal evolution along the artery poorly reflected the length of the lesion or the impact of surrounding stenoses. This investigation confirms the interaction between adjacent stenoses on hemodynamics and its impact on the Doppler ultrasound index PSVR.

Abstract
An unsteady Navier-Stokes (N-S) solver based on the method of operator splitting and artificial compressibility has been studied for the moving boundary problem to simulate blood flow through a compliant vessel. Galerkin finite element analysis is used to discretize the governing equations. The model has been applied to a time-varying computational domain (two-dimensional tube) as a test case for validation. Consideration has been given to retaining the space conservation property. The same code is then applied to a hypothetical critical high-pressure gradient over a short length of blood vessel based on the spring and dashpot model. The governing equation for the blood vessel is based on two-dimensional dynamic thin-shell theory that takes into account the curvature of the stenotic portion of the vessel. Progressing the solution towards steady state is considered, as the main objective is to show the viability of the current technique for fluid/structure interactions. Preliminary results of the wall velocity and displacement based on steady state prediction agree well with data in the literature. Results, such as the streamlines, wall pressures and wall shear stress depict the possible progression of arterial disease.
