The present paper brings new lights on blood flow patterns in rigid artery bifurcation models, differing in angle of bifurcation. Using the ANSYS 5.4/FLOTRAN package, a numerical analysis in two dimensions was performed, under physiologically relevant flow conditions. For two bifurcation models, one with large angle the other with a small one, the distributions of velocities, shear-stress and pressure in the domain of carotid artery bifurcation have been obtained. It is argued and proved that the vascular geometry at the bifurcation level represents a risk factor in atherogenesis, the relevant factors for this process being the flow separation, reversal flow regions and wall shear stress.
