Investigation of physiological pulsatile flow in a model arterial stenosis using large-eddy and direct numerical simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Physiologicalpulsatileflow in a 3D model of arterialstenosis is investigated by using largeeddysimulation (LES) technique. The computational domain chosen is a simple channel with a biological type stenosis formed eccentrically on the top wall.
