Abstract Treating coronary bifurcation stenosis is still a challenging task. Existing procedures still display a relatively small rate of success. This paper aims to investigate numerically the effect of bifurcation lesions with different structures on the dynamics of blood flow and related temperature. The problem geometry is parametrically varied by changing the bifurcation angle and radius. A finite volume method is used to simulate the three-dimensional flow. The effects induced by the structure of the stenosis, the artery bifurcation angle and radius, and the inlet velocity of blood are discussed in terms of flow pattern, pressure More >
