(a) Infrarenal (IR) flow waveform of subject 7 during 10 cardiac cycles. To compute particle residence time (PRT), we repeated IR flow waveform assuming that blood flow is periodic. We released particles at frame 0 (the first red spot marked as 0 on the plot) in early systole of the first cardiac cycle, and monitored the particles at frame 1, 2,…, 9 in the subsequent early systoles of nine cardiac cycles. (b) Particle tracing over successive cardiac cycles. Particles were visualized until they left the aneurysm domain. Note that at the end of the 9th cycle (frame 9), most of the particles left the domain except the particles in the posterior portion of the left lower lobe.
