Abstract :

The blood flow characteristics passing through a cardiovascular system are thought to contain important information that can be used for the early detection of cardiovascular disorders, one of the major causes of death in modern life. From this sense, the biophysical description of hemodynamic and hemorheologic behavior of blood flow have received large attention in recent decades. Modern interdisciplinary researches have suggested that the fluid mechanics of blood flow play an important role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of vascular circulatory diseases. Even though hemodynamic and hemorheologic feature based on blood flow characteristics can give us lots of information on pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorder, there are few studies on hemodynamic and hemorheologic feature from bio-fluidic mechanical points of view. From this sense, hemodynamic and hemorheologic features were investigated through experimental study. The experimental models employed in our studies were from simple sinusoidal stenotic model to real 2 dimensional experimental models based on clinical angiogram. And also flow media was employed from plasma to real blood controlled hematocrit. Through our research work shear rate, red blood cells behavior through stenotic lesion and blood flow characteristics were investigated experimentally
