Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to numerically model forced convection heat transfer within a patient-specific carotid bifurcation and to examine the relationship between the temperature and wall shear stress.Design/methodology/approach - The procedure employs a parallel, fully explicit (matr...
