Mechanics of Blood Flow and Wall Deformation in the Abdominal Aorta

The medical problems of vascular mechanics are discussed in relation to the issues of blood flow and deformation of the walls in the abdominal part of the human aorta, including the formation of an aneurysm. The articles analyzed that present modern medical concepts about the hydromechanics of blood flow and deformations of arterial walls, as well as which provide the physical parameters necessary for mathematical modeling. The results of coupled mathematical modeling of blood flow and deformations of the walls in the abdominal part of the aorta in various pathological processes in it, considered in modeling as mechanical damage, including in the presence of an aneurysm, are presented. The effect of an aneurysm on the deposition of red blood cells from the blood flow is also analyzed.
