Abstract
Flow simulations (investigation of velocity and microrotation fields) were carried out by solving the mass, linear momentum, and angular momentum equations in Cosserat continuum mechanics with a semi-analytical semi-experimental method; for unsteady, pulsatile, laminar, and locally fully developed blood flow and validation, using experimental pressure distribution in a mildly tapered femoral artery of a living dog. Finally, we present a time-dependent profile and an approximated Gaussian equation for k v (a material quantity that shows influence of microrotation field on the stress tensor) in this article.
