Fluid mechanics of arterial stenosis: Relationship to the development of mural thrombus

Abstract: AbstFact--In this study, we analyzed blood flow through a model stenosis with Reynolds numbers ranging from 300 to 3,600 using both experimental and numerical methods. The jet produced at the throat was turbulent, leading to an axisymmetric region of slowly recirculating flow. For higher Reynolds numbers, this region became more disturbed and its length was reduced. The numerical predictions were confirmed by digital particle image velocimetry and used to describe the fluid dynamics mechanisms relevant to prio… Show more

“…4 and 5͒ and is defined by numerically integrating ͐␥ ͑t͒dt along a platelet trajectory. Since other studies 5,7,8 suggest that flow separation and reattachment due to recirculation can also enhance platelet deposition, examination of the flow patterns and determination of their relationship to the activation level in the peristaltic recirculation system was also performed.…”

“…1 as a locus plot for the shear stress required for platelet activation. The amount of stimulation 4 ͑level of activation͒, 5 which is proportional to the product of local shear stress and exposure time to that stress, is widely accepted as the index that determines platelet activation in shear flows. The loci for incipient shearrelated platelet serotonin release and red-blood-cell hemolysis are displayed in the figure on a shear-stress-exposuretime phase plane plot.…”
