Abstract

The analysis of blood flow behavior has been studied in various aspects. Recently, these studies took a turn when they were developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), thereby advancing understanding of fluid behavior. Artery geometries and the properties of flow offer a field of interest for developing studies in which the behavior of liquid and structures can be observed. Biomodel development has evolved to allow for greater ease and precision. With a geometry similar to the real one, mechanical properties can be used to conduct studies with greater precision, yielding greater results on the behavior of a fluid and a structure. This research focuses on developing a biomodel of the right carotid artery. CFD and structural analyses are performed using the generated arterial geometry and a control volume that simulates blood flow. The structural analysis was performed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to obtain results that provide data on the effects on the arterial walls. The results presented focus on the velocity, pressure, and wall shear stress generated by the flow. In addition, a section on displacement and Von Mises stress results is presented, demonstrating how the structure of the arterial walls is affected by these effects.
