Top panel: volumetric rendering of the instantaneous velocity magnitude in the common and internal carotid arteries. Bottom panel: enlargement of the box in the top panel, focusing on the stenosis and downstream region. The flow became perturbed already before reaching the stenosis. The flow then accelerates in the stenosis and decelerates once out, causing the jet to break down into turbulent-like structures.
