Prescribed pulsating pressure condition for the simulations and corresponding flow rate. (a) A typical cardiac pressure profile scaled to 90–150 mm Hg and used as the upstream pressure (Pin). Down stream pressure (needed for 3D model) is chosen so that flow rate will be within physiological range; (b) Flow rate corresponding to the prescribed pressure conditions.
