Abstract

The paper utilizes a finite element method to study both the blood flow and atheromatous plaques. Specifically, the COMSOL finite element package is employed to achieve a fluid model. COMSOL is a powerful finite element tool commonly used in various research and industrial domains to study multiphysics problems. The focus of the investigation is on the geometric aspects of the atheromatous plaques. The study considers different forms and arrangements of stenosis, taking into account the irregularities formed by various shapes of the plaques and the resulting flow patterns. The key findings of the research suggest that the pressure and velocity of blood flow in the artery are dependent on the presence, position, number, and shape of the atheromatous plaques. This information is crucial for understanding the impact of these plaques on blood flow dynamics and may have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of arterial conditions.
