Abstract
Calculation of turbulent fluid flow in this paper is performed using two-equation turbulent finite element model that can calculate values in the viscous sublayer. Implicit integration of the equations is used for determining the fluid velocity, pressure, turbulence, kinetic energy, and dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy. These values are calculated in the finite element nodes for each step of incremental-iterative procedure. Developed turbulent finite element model with the customized generation of finite element meshes is used for solving complex blood flow problems. FEM Analysis results for the artery geometry of the selected anonymous patient provides us with data about important hemodynamics parameters such are blood velocity field and wall shear stress. Cardiologists could use proposed tools and methods to supplement clinical investigation of the hemodynamic conditions inside bifurcation of arteries.
