Temporal evolution of hemodynamics in murine arteriovenous fistula: A micro-CT based CFD study

Grid convergence and temporal convergence analysis.
Pressure time history at the proximal inlet demonstrates: (i) grid independence between medium and fine meshes, with differences less than 1% throughout the cardiac cycle and (ii) periodic steady-state was achieved after two cycles, with the first cycle influenced by initial conditions. Data from the third cycle, computed with medium mesh resolution, was used for all subsequent analyses.
