ABSTRAKT
There is evidence that there is a connection between the shear stress distribution at the wall of the developing, embryonic heart and growth errors. This relationship needs to be verified and quantified using experiments and a numerical model. The chicken embryo is a perfect model to investigate these aspects because of its size and because it is easily accessible.
