Use of NIRS data as boundary conditions for CFD simulations (PMID27376865)

Abstract

This Excel file contains the following 4 worksheets that allow researchers to confirm, extend and apply the findings from PMID 27376865: Worksheet 1 - Windkessel parameters from Table 1 of the paper; Worksheet 2 - A blood flow distribution calculator that uses NIRS data as input; Worksheet 3 - Ensemble-averaged (n=6) blood flow waveforms in the ascending aorta under resting blood flow conditions and three levels of exercise; Worksheet 4 - A waveform creator that automatically generates ascending aortic blood flow waveforms during rest and exercise using cardiac output and heart rate data from any patient
