Comparison of stented bifurcation and straight vessel 3D-simulation with a prior simulated velocity profile inlet

Abstract: Coronary diseases are the main reason for death in the western world. Bio-fluid mechanical correlations with arterial diseases are in the focus of our research. To treat occluded vessels, stents are implanted. Stent implantations can be associated with blood flow disruptions leading to restenosis or thrombosis formation. Numerical flow simulation is a promising tool to evaluate the hemodynamic performance of cardiovascular implants, but is resource-intensive in time and computational power. Therefore, a reduction in grid size would be beneficial due to economic exploitation of computational cost. The purpose of this numerical investigation is to substitute the computational domain of a distal stented bifurcation with a stented straight vessel by using the right inlet condition. The deviation of the results of the two different methods to simulate the blood flow situation in a bifurcation is marginal. This inlet can be used for standardised simulations of bifurcations were lesions commonly occur.
