Table1: Model parameters and dimension of vessels
The numerical model has been employed to handle the momentum across the
porous blood vessel interfaces. A suitable discretization scheme that is
capable to employ the flow in the porous and blood vessel domains has
been used.
A good grid arrangement between the grid clustering at the interfaces
and the outer walls of the domain has recommended, meanwhile, physical
variables have been located at the cell centre locations of the control
volumes. This configuration shows to be suitable for problems involving
interfaces between the porous and the fluid flow regions. The model in
the this work considers a different geometry from which that was
reported by [25]. The distribution of the velocity profile has been
shown for different locations inside the vessel. It shows to be actively
dependent on the location which applied in the simulation.
For numerical computations, the length of the vessel at the upstream and
downstream is taken to be too long to avoid any distortion at the
beginning of the vessel and to keep the fully developed flow [26,
27].
