An in vitro dynamics set-up of the flow in a compliant abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) model with an anterior posterior asymmetry, aorto-iliac bifurcation, and physiological inlet flow rate and outlet pressure waveforms was developed. The aims were first to show that the structural mechanical behavior of the used material to mimic the AAA wall was similar to this of patients with AAA and then to study the influence of the aorto-iliac bifurcation presence and to study the influence of the imbalanced flow rate in the iliac branches on the AAA flow field. 3D visualizations, never performed in the literature, have clearly put into evidence the development of a vortex ring generated at the AAA proximal neck during the decelerating phase of flow rate, which detaches and progresses downstream during the cardiac cycle, impinges on the anterior wall in the distal AAA region, breaks up, and separates into two vortices of which one rolls on upstream along the anterior wall. 2D particle image velocimetry measurements, swirling strength and enstrophy calculations allowed quantification of the vorticity, vortex trajectory and energy for the different geometrical and hydrodynamical conditions. The main results show that the instant and the intensity of the vortex ring impingement depend on the presence of the aorto-iliac bifurcation, with higher intensity, by about 90%, for an AAA without bifurcation. The imbalance of the flow rates into the iliac branches induces different propagation velocities of the vortex ring and lowers the intensity of the vortex impact by about 60%. The potential influence of the AAA dynamics is discussed in terms of AAA remodeling and rupture.
