Abstract
<p>After segmentation side branches were cut 1–2 cm from the branching point. The volume mesh consisted of about 400,000 polyhedral cells. The Navier-Stokes equations were solved by the finite element method. The level of ESS increases from blue to red as shown in the color map on the left.</p
