coronary arteries-outlet: Windkessel model

Lilly · June 18, 2013, 05:14

Dear all,

I would like to use kind of a windkessel model (or something similar) as outlet boundary conditions at my coronary artery model. Does anybody have experience with this? One huge problem I am facing is that I need parameters for the simulation of rest and hyperemia/exercise and I would like to include a stenosis in one artery which will influence the parameters as well.
Does anybody have experience with this problem and have values for those parameters or a reference at which I could have a glance at? And did somebody write an UDF for this problem?

Thanks a million for any help and idea!

Hi, did you find a solution? I've been trying a lot but I'm getting unrealistic values.
Thanks a lot!
