(A) Fillet radii values for the cross-sections of the four types of MCs.

(B) Shapes and meshing of the MC cross-sections.

(C–F) Shear stress field distribution in the four types of MCs under the same pressure.

(G–J) Scatterplots of the shear stress distribution in the four types of MCs.

(K) Trendlines of the shear stress in the four types of MCs.

(L) Comparison of the shear stress uniformity within the four MCs, including the maximum, average, and minimum values.
