【 摘 要 】

The present paper a finite element implementation of a model of the arterial blood flow through the carotid artery with the effects of magnetic to considering fluid–wall interactions are investigated. The Navier–Stokes equations are used as the governing equations for the blood flow while an elastic compliant model is used for the arterial wall. The reduced one dimensional model solves the momentum and continuity equations in compliant tubes so as to reproduce the propagation of the pressure pulse in the arterial model. The obtained results adequately reproduce the general flow patterns reported in the literature. The results obtained in the investigation are in reasonably good agreement with experimental findings existing in the literature. The effects of a magnetic field have been used to control the flow, which may be useful in certain hypertension cases, etc.
