Wall Shear Stress Topological Skeleton Analysis in Cardiovascular Flows: Methods and Applications by Valentina Mazzi, Umberto Morbiducci, Karol Calò, Giuseppe De Nisco, Maurizio Lodi Rizzini, Elena Torta, Giuseppe Carlo Alp Caridi, Claudio Chiastra, Diego Gallo

“…A marked interest has recently emerged regarding the analysis of the wall shear stress (WSS) vector field topological skeleton in cardiovascular flows. Based on dynamical system theory, the WSS topological skeleton is composed of fixed points, i.e., focal points where WSS locally vanishes, and unstable/stable manifolds, consisting of contraction/expansion regions linking fixed points. …”
