Blood Flow in Large Femoral Artery
Abstract
The present master research project entitled, Blood Flow in Large Femoral Artery, has been
spread over in three chapters. Chapter-1, gives the information and overall development of Biofluid Mechanics. This chapter further deals with basic definitions, governing equations of various
models, different types of fluids and set of Magneto-hydrodynamic equations. In this chapter we
have also discussed about the importance of the subject, cardiovascular system, distribution of
blood volume and difference between anatomy and physiology.
The aim of the chapter-2 is based on the interest of today's research in Bio-fluid dynamics, more
and more dedicated to accurate modeling of the blood flow characteristics. It became evident that
blood is a complex fluid, with properties depending on many factors, not limited to shear rate
and hematocrit. In this chapter we have discussed in details about the blood rheology and blood
vessels because it is very important to understand the blood flow in the artery. Few properties of
blood flow also have been discussed in this chapter.
Chapter-3, presents a theoretical model of oscillatory blood flow in circulatory rigid tube. The
assumptions of a Newtonian rheology is considered and blood flow is described by the NavierStokes equations with specific term pressure gradient and boundary conditions. In this chapter
we have got the analytical solution of the problem in terms of velocity and flow rate. The main
aim of this chapter is, how the fluid dynamics play an important role in the understanding of the
human circulatory system. This type of blood flow problem occurs in the human body in the
case of diseased artery
