文摘In this paper, by solving the fundamental e-qualions of periodicallyoscillatory blood flow, the distributions of pressure gradient and blood velocity in varying-areae-lastic vessel were obtained, and then the wall shear stress and its gradient were calculated. Asan example, the pulsatile blood flow in human carotid was analyzed and the effects of vessel taperangle on the distribution of wall shear stress and its gradient were discussed in detail. Numercialresults show that the wall shear stress will enlarge when the taper angle increases. Meantime, nomatter whether the vessel is converging or diverging, with the increase of the absolute value oftaper angle, the amplitude of wall shear stress gradient will enlarge significantly.
