Fig 2. Numerical Method Verification via a 3-Dimensional Idealized Bifurcating Artery.
(A) The 3-dimensional idealized bifurcating artery proposed by Chung [45] was used for verifying our method. The parent artery where the inflow is prescribed is 2 mm in diameter, 12.23 mm in length up to the bifurcation, and 13.95 mm in length to the bifurcation apex. The daughter arteries are both 1.2 mm in diameter and 12.72 mm in length from the bifurcation. The radius of curvature (Rc) is 0.1 mm, and the angle between the daughter artery walls is 60°. (B) Pressure was extracted along the center of the parent artery from the inflow to the apex of the bifurcation.
