We’ll ignore 3D effects and use the following idealized 2D geometry. All dimensions are shown in mm.
Consider the following two plaque configurations. Model the plaque as a circular arc with a diameter of 3 mm except the one that spans two limbs whose dimensions are shown below.
You also need to study the effect of a blood clot in the right branch (in addition to the plaque) as shown in the figure below. Assume that the blood clot has a diameter of 1 mm.
FLUENT Inputs
- Steady 2D flow
- Outlet gauge pressure = 0 Pa
- Density = 1000 kg/m3
- Coefficient of viscosity = 0.001 kg/(m-s)
- Adjust inlet velocity to get a Reynolds no. of 400.
