This master's thesis deals with pulsating flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. Theoretical part represents necessary theoretical knowledge for pulsating flow and understanding of non-Newtonian behaviour. Furthermore the thesis focus is directed on numerical simulation of pulsating flow in straight, ideally rigid tube and in patient-specific model of human artery, more precisely in carotid. Two methods are used: numerical solution based on finite volume method (FVM) and also analytical solution using Bessel functions by Womersley. Results are validated against experimental measurements of velocity profiles by particle image velocity method (PIV). The agreement between numerical and experimental data with consideration of PIV inaccuracy was was very good from both point of views - qualitative and quantitative. Numerical solution also compare influence of turbulence and non-Newtonian behaviour towards base (laminar flow, Newtonian fluid). Developed methodology is then applied on patient-specific model of carotid, which was renovated from computed tomography. Measurements in vivo in human arteries is very expensive and often invasive. Because of that measurement outputs are limited, most of the time on pressure and flow. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is non-invasive and outputs are through whole domain. Due to these advantages CFD significantly contributes to understanding of hemodynamics influence in cardiovascular diseases.
