Simulations of time harmonic blood flow in the Mesenteric artery: comparing finite element and lattice Boltzmann methods

摘要

BackgroundSystolic blood flow has been simulated in the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. The simulations were carried out using two different computational hemodynamic methods: the finite element method to solve the Navier Stokes equations and the lattice Boltzmann method.
