This paper aims to estimate effect of elastic wall of blood vessel in the numerical simulation of blood flow. In order to future the internal carotid artery, the curved pipe model was used. The study was conducted using two different types of wall condition: 1) rigid wall, and 2) elastic wall. Instantaneous wall shear stress distributions and velocity distributions are compared between both cases. As a result, distributions and the maximum magnitude of wall shear stress are not different in both cases. The flow field is also similar and deformation of the wall is very small.
