ABSTRACT The use of high-order methods in computational fluid dynamics is becoming more and more widespread thanks to their desirable features such as low levels of numerical dissipation, intrinsic geometrical flexibility and fast convergence properties. However, it is well-known that the treatment...

ABSTRACT The media of the aorta consists primarily of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) embedded in a highly structured matrix of collagen fibrils and elastin lamellae. Thanks to their phenotypic plasticity [1], SMCs normally maintain a certain mechanical homeostasis through variations of their active ton...
