h/r %DS %AS h (mm) Li (mm) Xs (mm) Lo (mm) Ltotal (mm)
0.3 30 0.51 0.6 24 12 80 116
0.4 40 0.64 0.8 24 12 80 116
0.5 50 0.75 1 24 12 80 116
0.6 60 0.84 1.2 24 12 80 116
0.7 70 0.91 1.4 24 12 80 116

%AS indicates percentage area stenoses; %DS, percentage diameter stenosis; h, maximum height of stenosis at throat; h/r, nondimensional ratio; Li, inlet length before stenosis section; Lo, outlet length after stenosis section; Ltotal, total length of the model (Li+Xs+Lo); Xs, length of stenosis section.
