Results from periodic sinusoidal wall motion (T=3.2 s) with unsteady parabolic inlet velocity (−7.5 < vinlet < 7.5 mm/s) a) Vessel radius (line) and inlet axial velocity (dotted line) values used as boundary conditions, b) Resulting average axial velocity in contracting segment, c) Average axial wall shear stress (dot) and quasi-static Poiseuille (dotted line) values, d) Radial to axial velocity ratio.
