Table 1b.

Results from simulations with periodic sinusoidal wall motion (T=3.2 s) and a steady inlet condition (Average axial velocity at inlet = 1.48 mm/s). The table compares wall shear stress values to the quasi-static Poiseuille values for shear and presents the average and maximum percent difference.
