... and the implementation is verified with the Method of Manufactured Solutions. Simulation results using models V1, V2 and the common static elastic model are compared in three application examples: (i) wave propagation study in an idealized vessel with reflection-free outflow boundary condition; (ii) carotid artery model...

...Yaniv Hollander; David Durban; Xiao Lu; Ghassan S. Kassab; Yoram Lanir Accurate modeling of arterial response to physiological or pathological loads may shed light on the processes leading to initiation and progression of a number of vascular diseases and may serve as a tool for prediction...

... cycle in the iliac arteries was determined. Method of Approach . Computational fluid dynamic calculations were performed in six iliac arteries from three juvenile swine. Fourier analysis of the time-varying shear stress computed at the arterial wall was performed to determine the prevalence of shear...

...D. Kim Stangeby; C. Ross Ethier The transport of macromolecules, such as low density lipoproteins (LDLs), across the artery wall and their accumulation in the wall is a key step in atherogenesis. Our objective was to model fluid flow within both the lumen and wall of a constricted, axisymmetric...

...S. J. Peterson; R. J. Okamoto Quantifying the stress distribution through the arterial wall is essential to studies of arterial growth and disease. Previous studies have shown that both residual stress, as measured by opening angle, and differing material properties for the media-intima...
