Table 1.

Dimensions of the large vessels of the systemic (top) and pulmonary (bottom) arteries. The lengths of all vessels are rounded to the nearest 0.25 cm to match the spatial resolution used in the numerical computations. Data for the systemic vessels are from measurements reported in (Olufsen et al. 2000) while data for the pulmonary vessels are from experiments done in this study.
