Table 1.

In vivo and in vitro flow measurements and CFD simulations at cross sections of the main vessels. Flow ratios into each of the pulmonary arteries are presented for in vivo and in vitro experiments as well as for CFD simulations using velocity components (VC) and average normal inflow velocity (ANIV) at the inlet plane.
