Abstract

The present paper a finite element
implementation of a model of the arterial blood flow
through the carotid artery with the effects of magnetic to
considering fluid–wall interactions are investigated. The
Navier–Stokes equations are used as the governing
equations for the blood flow while an elastic compliant
model is used for the arterial wall. The reduced one
dimensional model solves the momentum and continuity
equations in compliant tubes so as to reproduce the
propagation of the pressure pulse in the arterial model.
The obtained results adequately reproduce the general
flow patterns reported in the literature. The results
obtained in the investigation are in reasonably good
agreement with experimental findings existing in the
literature. The effects of a magnetic field have been used
to control the flow, which may be useful in certain
hypertension cases, etc
