Hemodynamics and Mechanical Behavior of Pathologically Tortuous Carotid Arteries

The numerical analysis of blood flow through anatomically real healthy and pathologically tortuous bifurcation of human carotid was carried out. Experimental velocity field data in carotid bifurcation were obtained using noninvasive technology. 3D computer models based on computer tomogram were built. The material of the wall is assumed to be linear isotropic.
