Numerical 3D simulation of blood flow in a symmetrical stenotic artery influenced by a strong non-uniform magnetic field

In this bachelor thesis, blood flow in simplified stenosed and unstenosed arteries under influence of a steady localized non-uniform magnetic field is investigated by performing 3D numerical simulations. The mathematical model is a combination of the principles of ferrohydrodynamics (FHD), magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and a simplified set of...

Particle image velocimetry for microscale blood flow measurement

The development, the regulation, and the pathology of the circulatory system (e.g. cardiogenesis, thermoregulation, atherosclerosis) are determined by blood flow induced mechanical forces. While this proposition has been confirmed during recent years, the exact mechanisms still remain unclear. This is mainly due to the fact that those forces...
