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].
