A Qualitative Hemodynamic Analysis on Human Cerebrovascular Phantom

Patient specific hemodynamic analysis is one of the major factors to determine one’s cerebrovascular health. Irregularities in hemodynamic pressure, velocity, and wall shear stress may lead to several cerebrovascular diseases. In this present work, we present a detailed hemodynamic analysis on two cerebrovascular phantoms, an anterior communicating artery, and a complete arterial tree including the circle of Willis. We have shown the step-by-step procedure involved in converting the surface mesh to a solid, which is needed for flow analysis using ANSYS Fluent. Then, we have analyzed the hemodynamic parameters like velocity and wall shear stress through flow analysis using various computational fluid dynamics techniques. The developed method is useful for future research on hemodynamic analysis using 3-D digital flows.
