| Abstract |
The behaviour of biological fluid flows is often investigated in medical practice to draw conclusions on the physiological or pathological conditions of the considered organs. One area where such investigations are proven to be useful is the flow-related formation and growth of different pathologic malformations of the cerebro-vascular system. In this work, a detailed study is presented on the effect of a cerebral aneurysm on blood transport inside a human brain artery segment. This malformation causes strong flow instabilities that drives the flow system towards chaotic behaviour. The emerging fractal structure and some of its measurable properties have been explored using a method that makes the measurement of these properties feasible even in complicated large three dimensional data sets. We find that, from the investigated chaos parameters, the information dimension turns out to be the most reliable parameter to characterise chaotic advection in the vicinity of the aneurysm sac. We propose that properties of chaotic mixing close to aneurysms might be relevant for the condition of this pathologic malformation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 January 2015.
All research outputs
#19,942,887
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Theoretical Biology
#3,005
of 4,010 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,891
of 359,790 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Theoretical Biology
#34
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,010 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,790 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
