Zusammenfassung: | Computational hemodynamics plays a crucial role in reproducing the details of aortic blood flow. However, the application of the non-Newtonian viscosity model is still controversial. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effects of different non-Newtonian models on the viscosity of blood flow in healthy aorta. First, we reconstructed the three-dimensional geometric models of two healthy aortas based on computed tomography angiography images. The blood flow waveform with parabolic distribution and the three-element Windkessel model were adopted as boundary conditions. Then, the interaction between the blood flow and hyperelastic aortic vessel wall was considered by the two-way fluid–structure interaction method. Finally, we chose four commonly used non-Newtonian viscosity models: the Quemada model, Casson model, Carreau, and Carreau–Yasuda models. Results show that the instantaneous low shear strain rate (SSR |
