An investigation of pulsatile flow in a model cavo-pulmonary vascular system

The complexities in the flow pattern in a cavo‐pulmonary vascular system—after application of the Fontan procedure in the vicinity of the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and the confluence at the T‐junction—are analysed. A characteristic‐based split (CBS) finite element scheme involving the...
