Stenosed Carotid Artery Hemodynamics with Ansys Discovery & Fluent Software
This tutorial guides you through the complete workflow of creating, simulating, and analyzing blood flow through a stenosed blood vessel using Ansys Software. Starting with geometry creation in Ansys Discovery software, meshing, setting up physiologically accurate non-Newtonian blood flow simulation in Ansys Fluent software, and performing post-processing analysis of critical hemodynamic parameters such as velocity distributions and recirculation zones. Special attention is given to the step-by-step CAD creation and Mesh Quality in the stenotic region to accurately capture flow separation, recirculation, and more, that occur in atherosclerotic vessels.
Through detailed instructions, you'll develop a deep understanding of both the technical simulation workflow and the physiological significance of your results, bridging the gap between computational methods and biomedical applications.
