Key Points

This research aims to explore how fluid dynamics affect the formation of vortices in arterial junctions and their relation to atherosclerosis.
Studied flow patterns in glass models of 90° T-junctions
Analyzed the development of secondary flows and vortices in relation to flow behavior
Investigated the effects of these patterns on thrombi deposition
Identified distinct vortex patterns associated with fluid flow in branching vessels
Demonstrated that vortices can influence the localization of thrombi
Established a correlation between flow patterns and potential atherosclerotic lesions

Implication

Examines flow patterns in glass models of arterial branching, suggesting fluid dynamics influence atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Fluid mechanical factors are probably involved in the localization of atherosclerotic lesions and the deposition of platelet thrombi at arterial branches where secondary flows and vortices develop. Hence, we have studied the flow patterns in glass mo
