Coupling the hemodynamic environment to the evolution of cerebral aneurysms: computational framework and numerical examples.

The physiological mechanisms that give rise to the inception and development of a cerebral aneurysm are accepted to involve the interplay between the local mechanical forces acting on the arterial wall and the biological processes occurring at the cellular level. In fact, the wall shear stresses (WS...
