3D computational flow modeling of a wide angle bifurcation (60 degrees) in the CAM. A 3D finite element model was constructed based on geometry obtained from intravital microscopy; computational flow dynamics was calculated based on measured intravascular flow velocity. A) A digital recombination of a 100 consecutive images demonstrating an intravascular pillar near the bifurcation of a converging flow stream; B) wall shear stress, C) blood velocity, and C) blood pressure are also shown.
