Systolic Flow Through Arteries: Stress Profile

Here is an animation of systolic flow through a human artery bifurcation. The image displays the amount of stress the fluid is putting onto the walls of the arteries by the color. Red being high stress and Blue being low stress. Click on the image to see animation. (.avi file, 3.5 MB)
