(a) Schematic diagram of 3D aortic arch model (Inset: a zoomed region around branches with definitions of lengths, diameters, and distances also common with the two other geometries), (b) the plot of luminal cross-sectional area of ascending aorta versus pressure estimated from Towfiq et al. [9]. (c) Pressure pulse at the inlet of ascending aorta under normal pressure condition.
