• Finish
  all cases in Bifurcating Artery including:
• No plaque (=30°, =30°)
• two plaque configurations without blood clot (=30°, =30°)
• two plaque configurations with blood clot (=30°, =30°)
• No plaque (=30°, =45°)
• two plaque configurations without blood clot (=30°, =45°)
• two plaque configurations with blood clot (=30°, =45°)
• Record the streamlines and wall shear data (multiple images) for each case

• Write a experiment report for comparing the streamlines and wall shear of each
configuration, and denoting which part of artery is easiest to be broken.
• Please use Font 12, default margins, and 1.5 line space in the experiment report.
