Comparison of FMSS and velocity plots from model 2 (anisotropic, no bending) and model 3 (anisotropic with bending), showing that cyclic bending has modest effects on flow velocity and maximum shear stress. No flow recirculation was observed. (a) M2, FMSS, Pin = 86 mmHg, no bending. (b) M3, FMSS, Pin = 86 mmHg, with bending, κ = 0.97 cm−1. (c) M2, Velocity, Pin = 86 mmHg, no bending. (d) M3, Velocity, Pin = 86 mmHg, κ = 0.97 cm−1.
