Artigo:

Hemodynamic forces, such as Wall Shear Stress, are known to be one of the factors behind atherosclerotic plaque formation in blood vessels. This plaque formation can lead to vascular pathologies, such as aneurysms and stenosis (BALOSSINO et al., 2009; CEBRAL et al., 2005; DONG; INTHAVONG; TU, 2013). Given the importance of understanding the hemodynamics inside blood vessels, numerical simulations such as those using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique have been applied, in order to aid physicians with further analysis of the blood flow. These simulations can be used alongside with common medical imaging technologies, such as MRI (Magnetic resonance Imaging) and CT-scans (Computed Tomography) (LI et al., 2018).
