In particular, we highlight the important distinction between different flow regimes (i.e. viscosity controlled versus. inertia controlled flow). We also illustrate the difference between understanding bolus movements controlled by a constant force (or pressure) and those controlled by a constant displacement (or velocity). We limit our discussion to simple, Newtonian liquids where the viscosity does not depend on the speed of flow. Consideration of non-Newtonian effects (such as shear thinning or viscoelasticity), which we believe play an important part in human swallowing, requires a sound grasp of the fundamentals discussed here and warrants further consideration in its own right.</p>","PeriodicalId":87429,"journal":{"name":"Applied rheology (Lappersdorf, Germany : Online)","volume":"26 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8570544/pdf/nihms-1719803.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39850577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presently there is no universally agreed upon model to represent the viscous property of blood. However, under the general classification of non-Newtonian models that simulate blood behavior to different degrees of accuracy, there are many variants. The power law, Casson and Carreau models are popular non-Newtonian models and affect hemodynamics quantities under many conditions. In this study, the finite volume method is used to investigate hemodynamics predictions of each of the models. To implement the finite volume method, the computational fluid dynamics software Fluent 6.1 is used. In this numerical study the different hemorheological models are found to predict different results of hemodynamics variables which are known to impact the genesis of atherosclerosis and formation of thrombosis. The axial velocity magnitude percentage difference of up to 2 % and radial velocity difference up to 90 % is found at different sections of the T-junction geometry. The size of flow recirculation zones and their associated separation and reattachment point's locations differ for each model. The wall shear stress also experiences up to 12 % shift in the main tube. A velocity magnitude distribution of the grid cells shows that the Newtonian model is close dynamically to the Casson model while the power law model resembles the Carreau model. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Die Rheologie von Blutströmungen ist ein komplexes Phänomen. Gegenwärtig existiert kein allgemein akzeptiertes Modell, um die viskosen Eigenschaften von Blut wiederzugeben. Jedoch gibt es mehrere Varianten unter der allgemeinen Klassifikation von nicht-Newtonschen Modellen, die das Verhalten von Blut mit unterschiedlicher Genauigkeit simulieren. Die Potenzgesetz-, Casson und Carreau-Modelle sind beliebte nicht-New-tonsche Modelle und beeinflussen die hämodynamischen Eigenschaften in vielen Situationen. In dieser Studie wurde die finite Volumenmethode angewandt, um die hämodynamischen Vorhersagen dieser Modelle zu untersuchen. Um die finite Volumenmethode zu implementieren, wurde die Fluiddynamiksoftware Fluent 6.1 verwendet. In dieser numerischen Studie wurde gefunden, dass die unterschiedlichen hämorheologischen Modelle unterschiedliche Resultate für die hämodynamischen Grössen vorhersagen, von denen bekannt ist, dass sie die Entstehung von Arteriosklerose und die Bildung von Thrombose beeinflussen. Es wurde gefunden, dass die relative Differenz der axialen Geschwindigkeit bis zu 2% und die der radialen Geschwindigkeit bis zu 90% in unterschiedlichen Abschnitten der T-Verbindung beträgt. Die Grösse der Strömungszirkulationszonen und ihrer dazugehörigen Trennungs- und Vereinigungspunkte differieren für jedes Modell. Die Scherspannung an der Wand erfährt ebenfalls eine Verschiebung im Hauptrohr von bis zu 12%.
