Nanoparticle Delivery in Microvascular after Cerebral Ischemia: A Simulation Study

Figure 2

Geometric models used in the CFD simulation. Geometry of the normal model (a). Geometry of the stenosis model, inside the red frame is an enlarged view of the stenosis of the vessel. There are eight stenosis sites in the stenosis model (b). Geometry of the occlusion model, inside the blue frame is an enlarged view of the occlusion of the vessel. The occlusion model blocks four stenoses to simulate the narrow lumen being blocked by cells based on the stenosis model. There are four occlusions in the occlusion model (c).
