Stress/strain distribution and the flow distribution of 4 cases in the inter-comparison set (left column from the top to bottom in the sequence of Case 1 to Case 4, the horizontal axis indicates vessel length and the perpendicular axis indicates vessel diameter, unit is mm. The left color bar indicates velocity magnitude, unit is m/s and the right one indicates stress magnitude, unit is Pa.) OSI of upper wall shows oscillation at distal downstream with low WSS according to the TAWSS distribution, and excessive oscillation is found in the immediate downstream with low shear in all cases.
