Abstract

The numerical simulation of thrombosis in stented aneurysms is an important issue to estimate the efficiency of a stent. In this paper, we consider a Lattice Boltzmann (LB) approach to bloodflow modeling and we implement a non-Newtonian correction in order to reproduce more realistic flow profiles. We obtain a good agreement between simulations and Casson's model of blood rheology in a simple geometry. Finally we discuss how, by using a passive scalar suspension model with aggregation on top of the LB dynamics, we can describe the clotting processes in the aneurysm
