Inflow/Outflow Boundary Conditions for Particle-Based Blood Flow Simulations: Application to Arterial Bifurcations and Trees
Fig 4
Validation of the open boundary conditions.
Typical velocity profiles of blood flow in microtubes at Ht = 15.0% and 30.0%. The simulation results are compared to those in periodic systems at same hematocrit levels. x and z represent the radial and axial distances for the cylinder geometry; vz is the velocity along the flow direction.
