Investigation of the blood flow at the different types of dichotomy of the human arterial system
Keywords
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to study the calculation and visualization of blood flow in the dichotomies at different levels branching arteries. Computer simulations showed that two types of dihotomy perform a complex function: regulate the flow properties of the blood and affect the velosity of blood flow. This shows that building a model of the human arterial system founded on criteria of optimality based on the principle of minimum hydrodynamic resistance is impossible.
