Fluid dynamics simulations used to study the effect of exercise on plaque formation at various ages

Plaque formation in the arteries carrying blood to the head and neck is a serious medical problem, potentially leading to strokes and heart attacks. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, engineers from China use fluid dynamics simulations to study the effect of exercise at various ages on plaque formation.
