A new numerical dye method visualizes unsteady 3D blood flow in the aortic arch. This technique aids understanding complex flow dynamics for medical device design and drug delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Computational science

Background:

  • Understanding unsteady three-dimensional blood flow is crucial for cardiovascular research and medical device development.
  • Existing methods for flow visualization may not fully capture the complex dynamics within arterial geometries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel numerical dye method for visualizing unsteady three-dimensional blood flow.
  • To analyze blood flow patterns in the aortic arch and its branches under various physiological conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Coupling unsteady convection-diffusion and Navier-Stokes equations.
  • Utilizing a finite volume projection-like algorithm with generalized coordinates and overset grids.
  • Employing a pressure prediction method to accelerate Pressure Poisson equation convergence.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated visualization of blood flow through the aortic arch and three main arterial branches.
  • Analyzed cross-flow strength, blood penetration into branches, and Womersley parameter effects.
  • Successfully visualized fluid parcel movement over the cardiac cycle without individual particle tracking.

Conclusions:

  • The numerical dye method provides valuable insights into the three-dimensionality of unsteady flow.
  • This technique is highly applicable to stent design and understanding flow-geometry interactions for localized drug delivery.
