摘要
The structured tree boundary condition is a physiologically-based outflow boundary condition used in hemodynamics. We propose an alternative derivation that is considerably simpler than the original one and yields similar, but not identical, results. We analyze the sensitivity of this boundary condition to its parameters and discuss its domain of validity. Several implementation issues are discussed and tested in the case of arterial flow in the Circle of Willis. Additionally, we compare results obtained from the structured tree boundary condition to the Windkessel boundary condition and measured data. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
