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
)

) ICA-outer
monitor point; (

demonstrates the transient variation of wall shear stress at various lo-
cation of the artery. Five monitoring points are shown in Fig.

labelled as the
CCA-monitor point; ICA-inner monitor point; ECA-inner monitor point; ICA-outer
