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

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Systolic 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 S...
