I am studying the blood flow in arteries and want to do certain simulations in coronary, carotid, and femoral arteries. But I did not find any paper where the values of Reynolds number are given for the blood flow in these arteries. I will be grateful if you share the details of the reference paper/book/article which I can use to cite the values of Reynolds number.
I have taken Re=600 to simulate blood flow in a coronary artery. Please help me regarding this.
The mean velocity of blood flow in the human pulmonary artery is ~18 cm/s,
a value about the same as that in the large pulmonary veins and aorta. The peak
Reynolds numbers in the main pulmonary artery are ~5000–9000, suggesting that
the pattern of flow there borders on turbulence (quoted from Pulmonary Vasoreactivity Yuansheng Gao - Biology of Vascular Smooth Muscle: Vasoconstriction and Dilatation)
Thank you Oscar L. Sierra sir. But I am looking for the value of Reynolds number in the coronary, carotid, and femoral arteries, as I want to simulate blood flow in these arteries.
Here is the attachment-related to what I am looking for. But still, I want to verify this from the values find in some good papers of some reputed journals.
"...The typical Reynolds number range of blood flow in the body varies from 1 in small arterioles to approximately 4000 in the largest artery, the aorta..." Ku DN. BLOOD FLOW IN ARTERIES. Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 1997. 29:399–434
