) for steady-state simulations of the clipped geometry using
different boundary conditions and its differences. The maximum difference is calculated for the
whole geometry, using the maximum value for the percentage
viscosity results in overestimated values for the hemodynamic indicators under
analysis. Given the special physiological relevance and correlation of low WSS
to disease in arteries, the choice of a non-Newtonian model could yield different
clinical evaluations. The particle tracing depicted in Fig.
