摘要：Thrombosis is a blood clot formed in the vascular system and obstructs blood flow by reducing the cross-sectional area of blood vessels, posing a great threat to human health. Computational hemodynamics is a well-known method used for numerical simulation of blood flow behaviour. Diastolic and systolic hypertension can be investigated using the FVM and SIMPLE scheme for pressure-velocity coupling. Thanks to the utilization of MRI and DICOM, there is an acceptable 3D geometric accuracy based on which the geometry was constructed. In this study, a numerical study was performed on the behavior of the non-Newtonian blood flow in the abdominal aorta with different shapes of thrombus in three thermal fluxes generated by the body (i.e., running, sleeping, and standing). So, Blood flow behavior in three thrombus shapes of circular, rectangular, and triangular was also explored. This paper reported the influence of dimensionless numbers, including pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient, temperature, and Average Wall Shear Stress (AWSS). Based on clinical data, velocities in the abdominal aorta range from 1 to 1.2 m s−1, and blood temperature is 309.55 K. The results showed that the triangular thrombus was the most effective.
