A Perspective Review on Numerical Simulations of Hemodynamics in Aortic Dissection
Figure 2
The highest Von Mises stress across the wall of a descending aorta at various periods of the cycle was found at the medial layer as shown in (a) whereas (b) shows the axisymmetric idealized three-layered model of a descending aorta. Adapted from Khanafer and Berguer [33].
