Abstract: Hemodynamic analysis reveals a highly significant effect on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human vascular diseases. This article goes deeply into the periodic pulsatile blood flow in the carotid artery with an elastic vessel wall. In view of blood rheological experimental data, the constitutive equation of fractional Maxwell power-law fluid with yield stress, which can describe the four characteristics of yield stress, viscoelasticity, shear thinning, and thixotropy is established. Meanwhile, drawing support from the data of pulsatile flow, the finite Fourier series of pressure gradient with a period of 1 s has been proposed. Leading into Hooke’s law can build the fluid-structure coupling boundary condition of blood flow and elastic vessel wall. The numerical solutions are got hold of finite difference method integrated with the newly developed L1-algorithm, and their convergence and stability of which are verified. The axial velocities of blood under different constitutive relationships are compared. The results throw light that other constitutive relationships underestimate the velocity of blood. Furthermore, the flow rate and wall shear stress on different fluid are calculated. It can be concluded that compared with Bingham fluid, the maximum and minimum flow rate/wall shear stress of fractional Maxwell power-law fluid with yield stress increases by 19% and 32%, respectively. The flow rate lags behind the pressure gradient and has time delay effect, on the contrary, the velocity of blood vessel wall is keeping pace with the pressure gradient. The effects of relevant physical parameters on velocity are discussed. In addition, the spatiotemporal distribution of blood flow in cerebral artery and femoral artery are analyzed.Fractional Maxwell power-law fluid is proposed to describe hemorheology property.Based on Hooke’s law, the boundary condition of elastic wall is established.The finite Fourier series of pulsating pressure gradient has been fitted firstly.Blood flow promoted by the pressure gradient has a hysteresis effect.The velocity of blood vessel wall is keeping pace with the pressure gradient.
