Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA New System to Analyze Pulsatile Flow Characteristics in Elastic Tubes for Hemodynamic ApplicationsAfshin Anssari-Benam, Mohammad Tafazzoli-Shadpour, Nasser Fatouraee et al.In this research, we present a new designed experimental setup for study of characteristics of pulsatile flow in elastic tubes, aiming to simulate arterial blood flow. This system includes four major components: (1) a pulsatile pump producing original arterial flow, (2) an elastic element to simulate coupling of the heart with the arterial system, (3) an elastic tube with mechanical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,009 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Analysis of Pulsatile Blood Flow in a Stented Human Coronary Artery with a Flow DividerVahab Dehlaghi, Mohammad Tafazoli Shadpoor, Siamak NajarianShear stress is known to play a central role in restenosis formation and is sensitive to stent geometry. Local flow alterations created by a different stents without and with flow divider were studied to compare the hemodynamic effects of Stent design properties on restenosis in stented human coronary artery. Blood pressure and shear stress values were computed in three different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFlow Characteristics in Elastic Arteries Using a Fluid-Structure Interaction ModelH. Niroomand Oscuii, M. Tafazzoli Shadpour, Farzan GhalichiIn this study the interaction of blood flow with arterial wall has been investigated using FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) modeling. Computer simulation of pulsatile blood flow was carried out on the basis of the time dependent axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible Newtonian fluid flow. An elastic incompressible material with large deformation was considered for the arterial wall and momentum and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,429 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Stent Geometry on Phase Shift between Pressure and Flow Waveforms in Stented Human Coronary ArteryVahab Dehlaghi, Siamak Najarian, Mohammad Tafazzoli ShadpourShear stress is known to play a central role in restenosis formation and is sensitive to stent geometry. Alterations of the phase shift between pressure and flow waveform created by a different stents were studied to compare the hemodynamic effects of stent design properties on restenosis in stented human coronary artery. Blood pressure waveforms were computed in three different sites, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,252 accessesView PDF Cite
