Figure 3.
Results from skewed sinusoidal wall motion (T=3.2 s) with a steady parabolic inlet velocity (Average axial velocity at inlet = 0.0591 mm/s) a) Vessel radius (line) and axial velocity values (dotted line) at the center of the contracting segment, b) Average axial wall shear stress (dot) and quasi-static Poiseuille (dotted line) values, c) Radial to axial velocity ratio. Highest ratio observed during vessel dilation after rapid contraction.
