A Comparison of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Models for Simulating Stenosis Development at the Bifurcation of the Carotid Artery
Blood is a shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluid in which the viscosity reduces with the shear rate. When simulating arterial flow, it is well established that the non-Newtonian nature is important in the smallest vessels; however, there is no consistent view as to whether it is required in larger arte...
