Turbulence modeling in three-dimensional stenosed arterial bifurcations

Under normal healthy conditions, blood flow in the carotid artery bifurcation is laminar. However, in the presence of a stenosis, the flow can become turbulent at the higher Reynolds numbers during systole. There is growing consensus that the transitional k ? model is the best suited Reynolds averag...
