Table 2.

Investigated haemodynamic descriptors. WSS is the (time-varying) WSS vector; T is the period of the cardiac cycle; n is the unit vector normal to the arterial surface at each element; V is the volume; Inline graphic is the axial component of the cycle-averaged velocity vector; v is the (time-varying) velocity vector; and ω is the (time-varying) vorticity vector.
