Figure 8. — (a,b) Comparison between CFD results obtained with compliant and rigid models. TL results are presented with solid blue lines, whereas FL results are shown by dashed red lines. The pressure results are presented as the averaged values calculated over the cross-sections shown in the schematic in (a), whereas the flow results are calculated as the integral of the velocity over the same sections (a positive flow corresponds to fluid moving towards the abdominal aorta). , and are the mean flow rates calculated over the entire cardiac cycle, the systole and diastole phase, respectively.
