Abstract

Cardiovascular illnesses are a primary global health concern because they are frequently brought on by arterial stenosis. The complicated hemodynamics of blood flow via elliptically shaped arteries with numerous stenotic lesions along their top and bottom walls are examined in this paper. Carreau fluid model is used with Navier–Stokes equations in this study. The complete comparative study is done by using the Finite Element and Finite Volume Methods. This study uses commercial software to examine blood flow velocity, pressure and temperature distributions under various physiological situations at Reynolds number 30. Our results illuminate the interaction between flow dynamics, stenosis characteristics, and arterial geometry. The novelty of the work is to investigate how stenosis size, shape, and location affect pressure gradients, and flow disturbances. These observations provide helpful direction for understanding disease progression, designing treatments, and possibly new stent designs. The future direction of this research may involve further exploration of the interplay between hemodynamics and arterial stenosis by incorporating advanced computational models. Additionally, studies focusing on <italic>in vivo</italic> validation and clinical applications could enhance the translational impact of the findings. Collaborations between researchers, clinicians, and engineers may pave the way for personalized treatment strategies and innovations in cardiovascular care based on a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics within diseased arteries.
