Abstract

The mean objective of the present study is to establish a numerical code to simulate the blood flow considered as non Newtonian fluid through deformable tubes. Using an implicit finite volumes method to solve the local and integral equations systems and the equation of the tube, we determine the global and the local quantities for the flow. This study considered as a step in the modelling of flow in blood vessels, may also contribute to other important fields such as molten polymers flow.
