(a) Wall property and boundary condition of the thoracic aortic aneurysm model. The units of the three-element Windkessel model are Rp (×104 dynes·s/cm5), C(×10−4 cm5/dynes), Rd (×104 dynes·s/cm5). (b) Simulated wall displacement, blood pressure, velocity, and wall shear stress at peak systole. Overlays on the displacement are the vessel wall warped using nodal displacements (magnified three times). Numbered labels mark the locations where radial deformations are probed. The table on the bottom shows the cross sections of these locations (also magnified three times) at end diastole (black) and peak systole (gray).
