Comparison of parameters investigated using FSI methods.

ReferenceMethodParameterRemarks

Di Martino et al., 2001 [65]FSI (ALE)Maximum pressureFirst accurate calculation of FSI

Scotti et al., 2008 [72]FSIWall shear stress20% more WSS if FSI method is used

Scotti et al., 2005 [73]FSIAsymmetry and wall thicknessVarying wall thickness and asymmetry increases von Mises stress

Li and Kleinstreuer, 2007 [74]FSINeck angle, asymmetry, and bifurcation angleLarge neck angle leads to elevated von Mises stress; lateral asymmetry has higher stress
