Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are permanent, local expansions of the abdominal
segment of the aorta that can potentially be fatal if progressing to rupture. AAAs are rarely …

In the abdominal segment of the human aorta under a patient's average resting conditions,
pulsatile blood flow exhibits complex laminar patterns with secondary flows induced by …

As one important step in the investigation of the mechanical factors that lead to rupture of
abdominal aortic aneurysms, flow fields and flow-induced wall stress distributions have …

The intraluminal thrombus (ILT) commonly found within abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
may serve as a barrier to oxygen diffusion from the lumen to the inner layers of the aortic …

We study the effects of transition to turbulence in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The
presence of transitional effects in such districts is related to the heart pulsatility and the …

Numerical predictions of blood flow patterns and hemodynamic stresses in Abdominal Aortic
Aneurysms (AAAs) are performed in a two-aneurysm, axisymmetric, rigid wall model using …

Considering representative asymmetric aneurysms in the abdominal aorta, the transient 3-D
blood flow and pressure distributions as well as aneurysm wall stresses were numerically …

This manuscript presents a discontinuous Galerkin-based numerical method for solving fluid–
structure interaction problems involving incompressible, viscous fluids. The fluid and …

In this paper, we develop a physiologic wall stress analysis procedure by incorporating
experimentally measured, non-uniform pressure loading in a patient-based finite element …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm disease progression is probably influenced by tissue stresses
and blood flow conditions and so accurate estimation of these will increase understanding of …
