Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the analysis of blood flow in elastic arteries in the presence of transverse magnetic field. We extend the local flow calculations to include the non- Newtonian rheology of blood in order to examine the effects of the shear thinning visco-elasticity of blood on flow phenomena in large elastic arteries in the presence of magnetic field using a suitable finite difference Crank -Nicholson scheme. The present work focuses on the description and implementation of an adaptive numerical method for simulation fluid-structure interaction, a method that we in turn apply to the computer simulation cardiac mechanics.
