SDB Patient #5: Pre-treatment instantaneous wall shear stress distributions (Pa) along the airway model as calculated by unsteady LES during inspiration. The data are presented at the same time instances shown in Figure 5. The data shows fluctuations in the wall shear stress values from one time step (left) to the other (right) in the jet impingement region on the anterior side of the airway wall.
