Effect of turbulence and viscosity models on wall shear stress derived biomarkers for aorta simulations

Résumé

Ascending aorta simulations provide insight into patient-specific hemodynamic conditions. Numerous studies have assessed fluid biomarkers which show a potential to aid clinicians in the diagnosis process. Unfortunately, there exists a large disparity in the computational methodology used to model turbulence and viscosity. Recognizing this disparity, some authors focused on analysing the influence of either the turbulence or viscosity models on the biomarkers in order to quantify the importance of these model choices. However, no analysis has yet been done on their combined effect. In order to fully understand and quantify the effect of the computational methodology, an assessment of the combined effect of turbulence and viscosity model choice was performed. Our results show that (1) non-Newtonian viscosity has greater impact (2.9-5.0%) on wall shear stress than Large Eddy Simulation turbulence modelling (0.1-1.4%), (2) the contribution of non-Newtonian viscosity is amplified when combined with a subgrid-scale turbulence model, (3) wall shear stress is underestimated when considering Newtonian viscosity by 2.9-5.0% and (4) cycle-to-cycle variability can impact the results as much as the numerical model if insufficient cycles are performed. These results demonstrate that, when assessing the effect of computational methodologies, the resultant combined effect of the different modelling assumptions differs from the aggregated effect of the isolated modifications. Accurate aortic flow modelling requires non-Newtonian viscosity and Large Eddy Simulation turbulence modelling.
