Fig. 8.3  Flow conditions imposed at the ends of common, internal and external carotid arteries
(  CCA, ICA, and ECA respectively ). A pressure waveform is applied at the CCA and flow rates are
prescribed at the ICA and ECA. The period of pressure pulse and flow rate cycle is denoted by T
(  in seconds, s )
Fig. 8.4  Wall shear stress profiles based on FSI and no FSI simulations at monitoring points as
( a ) CCA-monitor point; ( b ) ICA-inner monitor point; ( c ) ECA-inner monitor point; ( d ) ICA-outer
monitor point; ( e ) ECA-outer monitor point

FSI Analysis of Diseased Carotid Bifurcation
Figure 8.4 demonstrates the transient variation of wall shear stress at various lo-
cation of the artery. Five monitoring points are shown in Fig. 8.1 labelled as the
CCA-monitor point; ICA-inner monitor point; ECA-inner monitor point; ICA-outer
