Numerical 3D simulations map flow separation and wall shear stress in arterial T-bifurcation models.
Numerical 3D-simulation of an arterial T-bifurcation model characterizes flow separation and wall shear stress, providing fluid dynamic insights relevant to the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

Fluid dynamic patterns at bifurcations may inform atherosclerosis mechanisms; leaves open clinical translation without in vivo validation.
Perktold et al. (1990) studied this question. Numerical 3D-simulation was evaluated on Wall shear stress and viscous flow phenomena. Numerical 3D-simulation of a 90-degree arterial T-bifurcation model demonstrated viscous flow phenomena such as flow separation, stagnation, and the distribution of high and low wall shear stress.
