Fig. 2

After interpolation of the velocity vectors (top row) and WSS vectors (bottom row) of the cohort-averaged normal map to the geometry of an example subject with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and repaired coarctation (CoA), a comparison is performed between the velocity and WSS vectors of the BAV subject with the interpolated cohort-averaged normal map. Regions where the velocity and WSS vector deviates more than 120° are colored in red, more than 60° but less than 120° in yellow, and less than 60° in green. The abnormally directed velocity volume and WSS surface is quantified in the inner and outer ascending aorta and the descending aorta (DAo)
