Influence of Hemorheology on Nanoparticle Transport in Vessel Bifurcations

This study presents the effect of hemorheology on nanoparticle transport in the left coronary artery. The flow is considered to be pulsating and particles are modeled by concentration equation. The influence of Newtonian and non‐Newtonian modeling approaches on particle transport is investigated and compared. Three bifurcations are investigated to determine the effect of bifurcation angles. The results show that considering blood as non‐Newtonian in certain configurations is necessary.
