Figure 6. — Wall shear stress (WSS) and vortical structure (VS) interaction in the fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) at early systole (0.15 s), peak systole (0.2 s) and early diastole (0.4 s) of the cardiac cycle. Simulations were based on (a) the Newtonian and (b) Carreau–Yasuda blood models. The luminal surface was colour-coded with the WSS and VS (educed by the λ₂-method using λ_{2 tr} = −20.0 s⁻²) were superimposed, respectively, in grey in the right images.
