Simulation of Contrast Agent Transport in Arteries with Multilayer Arterial Wall: Impact of Arterial Transmural Transport on the Bolus Delay and Dispersion

Figure 1

Schematic illustration of the computational geometry and boundary conditions. (a) The computational geometry of the stenosed model; (b) five-layer arterial wall with the thickness of each layer illustrated in the parentheses; (c) flow waveform at the inlet. EGL: endothelial glycocalyx layer; IEL: internal elastic lamina; : inner diameter.
