Investigation of Artery Wall Elasticity Effect on the Prediction of Atherosclerosis by Hemodynamic Factors by Rasool Kalbasi, Bahador Sharifzadeh, Mehdi Jahangiri

“…The reason for applying the k-ω model in the present study was to provide more consistent results with clinical results to improve the accuracy in estimating atherosclerosis disease. The investigation of the time-mean wall shear stress indicated that for double stenosis, the difference between the results of the rigid and elastic artery assumptions is greater than the case of simple stenosis, so that this difference percent can be up to 2.5 times. …”
