Development and assessment of a haemodynamic based numerical model for stenosis growth in the carotid artery

A model for stenosis development in the carotid artery, employing the lattice Boltzmann method, is presented and its suitability is investigated and demonstrated. The development of a stenosis is modelled based on the blood flow; and the subsequent changes in the flow are examined. The model is appl...
