Abstract

Three-dimensional analysis of blood flow in the human carotid bifurcation model has been made using the streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element model. The primary aim of this study is to gain some insights into complex hemodynamics based on the topology theory. In addition, the preferential sites of atherosclerosis in the carotid model are predicted by virtue of the simulated critical lines.
