The fundamental basis of almost all CFD problems is the Navier–Stokes equations (Das et al.,
2000), which denes any single-phase uid ow and biomechanical characteristics of blood
vessel wall according to Lame’s equations and shear ow stress (Bagchi et al., 2005; Kaliviotis
and Yianneskis, 2007). These equations can be simplied by removing terms describing viscous
actions to yield Euler’s equations. Further simplication, by removing terms that describe vor-
ticity, yields the full potential equations (Debbaut et al., 2012). Finally, for small perturbations ...
