The WSS and OSI play a critical role in the progression of different vascular diseases, the multidirectional nature of WSS, can alter the balance of the endothelial cells. But the multidirectional nature of WSS only has been analyzed in 2D section. In this work, we propose a new method based on 3D finite-element and a Laplacian approach to decompose the WSS vector in an axial (WSS_A) and circumferential (WSS_C) component in a 3D domain. The 3D method provides an excellent agreement of the quantification of WSS_A and WSS_C in comparison with the actual 2D method.
