Effect of Micropolar Fluid Properties on the Blood Flow in a Human Carotid Model

open access: yesFluids, 2020
Blood is a non-homogeneous fluid that flows inside the human artery system and provides the cells with nutrients. In this study the auto rotation effect of blood’s microstructure on its flow inside a human carotid model is studied by using a micropolar ...
