Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases were the main cause for loosing lives in the last decades due to the restricted blood flow states in the blood vessels areas. Numerical investigations have been conducted as the aim of this work to examine the blood flow, and wall shear stresses adjacent to the mono stenosis up to different degrees involved in the main, side and distal main branches as well as observe the pulsatile flow of blood in the left coronary artery through various percentage of stenosis. Both the Carreau non-Newtonian rheological model and the Newtonian model were utilized to model the blood fluid and wall shear stresses of left coronary artery, in a row, all the calculated data were validated with the previously published papers. It was found that the blood flow inside areas of the artery lie within the range of non-Newtonian rheological effects can be present, verifying the need to treat blood as non-Newtonian fluid; especially, with the case of 90% blockage.Keywords
