Connectivity of the 55 larger systemic arteries in the human. Their names and properties were taken from Alastruey (in press) and are shown in Tables 1 and 2 of the supplementary material. A periodic flow rate with a mean flow of 5.6 l min⁻¹ was prescribed at the aortic root for the first 10 s, followed by zero flow for $t>10\mathrm{s}$.
