Hemodynamic analysis for stenosis microfluidic model of thrombosis with refined computational fluid dynamics simulation

Abstract Disturbed blood flow has been increasingly recognized for its critical role in platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Microfluidics with hump shaped contractions have been developed to mimic microvascular stenosis and recapitulate the prothrombotic effect of flow disturbance. However the phys...
