Large-eddy simulation of physiological pulsatile flow through a constricted channel

In this thesis, large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to simulate both Newtonian and non-Newtonian physiological pulsatile flows in constricted channels to gain insights into the physical phenomenon of laminar-turbulent flow transition due to the presence of an artificial arterial stenosis. The advanc...
