| Summary: | Blood flow analysis is a study of measuring the blood pressure and finding its equivalent
flow rate, velocity profile and wall shear stress. In this article, the relationship between
blood pressure gradient, velocity profile, centreline velocity, volumetric flow rate and wall
shear stress is determined analytically through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed
using MatLab. If one of these time-dependent blood flow properties is known, i.e. pressure
gradient, velocity profile, volumetric flow rate or wall shear stress, then the remaining
properties can be calculated. A code is developed to solve these blood flow properties. Any
time-dependent blood properties can be used as input data. These data are then digitized
and saved in this code. Subsequently, these data are curve-fitted using the Fourier series.
The corresponding coefficients of Fourier series are then used to calculate the blood
property. Once this is obtained, the remaining three other flow properties can be
subsequently calculated. This GUI serves as a learning tool for students who wish to
pursue his/her knowledge in understanding the relationship of various blood flow properties
of pulsatile blood flow as well as the mathematics governing pulsatile flows. (Authors' abstract) |
