Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Wall shear stress distribution in the carotid siphon, which is a multiple curved segment of the internal carotid artery, is investigated numerically under physiological flow conditions. The computer simulation of flow through the model segment is based on the time-dependent, three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, solved numerically with a finite element method. The study shows the behavior of the wall shear stress-vector field and identifies the zones of high and low wall shear stress values during the cardiac cycle. |
