Abstract :The aim of this study is to model the flow in blood vessel at the simulation environment, in accordance with hemodynamic principles. The circumstances that may cause turbulent flow in the blood vessel model, developed in the agent based simulation environment, have been discussed in this study. Whether or not the flow in the blood vessel is turbulent is determined by the Reynolds’ number. The Reynolds’ number is calculated based on the diameter of blood vessel, flow velocity in the blood vessel, blood density and viscosity. The circumstances of turbulent flow that may occur based on the radius and viscosity in a narrowed region of blood vessel are shown graphically through experimental studies. It is thought that this study can be used for the educational purposes in medical education and engineering applications.
Keywords : agent, agent based modeling and simulation, blood vessel, turbulent flow
