Title

Two-Dimensional Meshless Numerical Modeling Of The Blood Flow Within Arterial End-To-Side Distal Anastomoses

Abstract

In the current paper we introduce the localized meshless method to resolve the two-dimensional blood flow in the vicinity of a peripheral bypass graft end-to-side distal anastomosis. The goal is to incorporate this new numerical technique in extracting the values of the fluid mechanics wall parameters, such as the wall shear stress and the wall shear stress gradients, which are suggested as contributory factors to the growth of post-operative intimal hyperplasia at the anastomosis. The localized meshless method depends on the Hardy Multiquadrics radial basis function to locally expand the flow variables over a set of nodes distributed in the computational domain. An explicit scheme is adapted for the meshless formulation of the laminar incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Our special interest in the localized meshless method arises from its automated point distribution feature that significantly facilitates the pre-processing of the solution. The blood flow is simulated in three different anastomosis model geometries; the conventional or direct model, the Miller Cuff model, and the Taylor Patch model. The results of the current localized meshless numerical method show a great agreement with the results provided by a well-established finite volume method commercial software.
