Numerical study of drug delivery through the 3D modeling of aortic arch in presence of a magnetic field.

Magnetic drug delivery known as smart technique in medicine is basically according to combining the drug inside capsules with the magnetic property or attaching the drug with magnetic surfaces at the micro- and nanoscale. In the present study, magnetic drug delivery in the aortic artery has been investigated. To approach the more realistic problem conditions of blood flow rheology, the effect of parameters such as non-Newtonian viscosity and oscillating input has been put into consideration.

Numerical investigation of drug delivery by using magnetic field in a 90-degree bent vessel: a 3D simulation.

Magnetic drug delivery as a potential method to treat diseases such as cancer tumors has attracted the attention of many researchers. One of the problems in conventional and ineffective therapies is the spread of drug in the circulatory system. The method of magnetic drug delivery aims at directing the drug to the localized area of disease by using a magnetic field.
