- Abstract
The objective of this study is to show how important a compliant wall technique is in simulating non-Newtonian and pulsatile blood flows in arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The three-dimensional idealized geometry is used to investigate the local hemodynamics in the end-to-side, radio-cephalic AVF using computational fluid-stricture interaction (FSI) simulation. The third-order Yeoh law is used to model the behavior of the hyperelatic vessel walls. Hemodynamic parameters such as velocity, wall shear stress (WSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), vorticity, and venous outflow rate are calculated. The results extracted for WSS on comparison of rigid and compliance wall, rigid wall WSS are 45–48.5% larger values than the compliance wall. The difference between compliance wall and rigid wall OSI is 11.5% and the rigid wall is a 10.86% decrease in compliance wall. The difference between the rigid wall AVF vorticity and the compliance wall vorticity is 18.34%, and the vorticity in the compliance wall is a 20.2% increase over the rigid wall. Maximum principle stress occurs at anastomosis (1335 Pa) and 507 Pa, 93 Pa on vein and artery, respectively. Finally, we conclude that the artery bed and heel of AVF are prone areas of Intimal Hyperplasia. The structural result shows the tendency of the inflammation pattern of the vein required for AVF maturation. ANSYS is a highly effective commercial tool for modeling real-world problems and performing multi-physics numerical simulations.
