Finite Element Modelling of Pulsatile Blood Flow in Idealized Model of Human Aortic Arch: Study of Hypotension and Hypertension

Figure 8

Polar plot of peripheral WSS distribution at the axial cross-sections (a, b, c) D, (d, e, f) E, (g, h, i) F, (j, k, l) G, and (m, n, o) H, and (p, q, r) I (as shown in Figure 3(a)) through aortic arch at time 𝑡=0.18 s. Where a, d, g, j, m, and p correspond to hypotension; b, e, h, k, n, and q correspond to normal pressure; c, f, I, l, o, and r correspond to hypertension.
