Fig. 7

Flow field comparison at t = 0.44 s for 3 cutting planes. The figure presents the 2D velocity magnitude fields for the maximum velocity at t = 0.44 s. The cutting planes are respectively 0, 5 and 10 mm far from the guide wire tip. To emphasize the guide wire influence, a comparison of the fields without the guide wire (left) and with (right) is also provided
