The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

In this paper we investigate the effect of oscillating axisymmetric blood flow on a catheterized artery in the presence of atherosclerosis, which is obtained from the available experimental data. The oscillatory (unsteady) blood flow in the arterial tube is formulated as a two-phase model composing a suspension of erythrocytes (red cells) in plasma. The coupled differential equations for both fluid (plasma) and particles (red cells) are solved by using analytical and computational methods. The important quantities such as plasma speed, velocity of red cells, blood pressure force, impedance (blood flow resistance) and the wall shear stress are computed for different values of the catheter size and hematocrit due to the red cells. We calculate dependence of these quantities on the temporal and spatial variable as well as on the frequency of the flow oscillation. We find, in particular, that the higher value of the frequency, larger catheter size, and higher values of hematocrit can lead to higher values of axial velocity, the impedance and the wall shear stress in the stenosis zone.
