A pulsatile suspension flow simulation in a stenosed vessel
A nonlinear pulsatile suspension flow in a stenosed vessel has been numerically analyzed. A transient UVP finite element method and a stable time integration scheme, based on a predictor-corrector strategy with constant error monitoring, have been employed in the computational study. The pulsatile suspension flow is studied by analyzing the flow, pressure and stress fields. Effects of the nonlinear particulate phase on the nonlinear suspending fluid phase are clearly brought out by comparing the suspension flow results with that on the corresponding homogeneous flows.
