Opening angle vs media-adventitia boundary location (γ) for homeostatic baseline model. When the artery geometry is primarily made up of either adventitia (γ → 0) or media (γ → 1), the opening angle tends to be positive. When the media and adventitia are similar in size (γ ≈ 0.5), the opening angle is negative. For the parameter values used in this model, the opening angle is negative for γ ∈ [0.24, 0.63].
