Synopsis
The wall shear stress (WSS) is a relevant biomarker associated with the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques that can be computed from blood flow velocity measurements. We study the effect of noise velocity on the quantification of the WSS with a focus on the spatial correlations that may arise. We perform in silico experiments in which we consider a Hagen-Poiseuille flow and two noise distributions. Our results show evidence on the existence of spatial correlations in the WSS even when the velocity noise is uncorrelated.
