Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Blood flow in human arteries considered as an important aspect of health care. Due to the large amount of difficulties conducting in-vivo experiments, the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate pulsatile flow in the blood artery has become a promising alternative approach. In this paper the 2-dimensional model of blood flow in the rectangular coordinates is formed by numerical approach and the simulation by Unity Engine is provided. The simulation showed that the blood flow was laminar within the artery. The velocity magnitude of blood was highest at the center of the artery and gradually decreased towards the walls due to the no-slip condition. These results are consistent with previous experimental and computational studies of blood flow in arteries.
