Fig. 6From: A flexible framework for sequential estimation of model parameters in computational hemodynamicsSimultaneous estimation of wall stiffnesses and Windkessel compliance. Top: the simulation set-up. The vessel surface is divided into three regions, each with a different value of stiffness, E. The inflow rate is given by a prescribed waveform, and a three-element Windkessel model is coupled at the outlet. The three values of E and the Windkessel compliance, C, will be estimated. Middle: evolution of the parameters during estimation. Solid lines denote the estimates; dashed lines indicate their true values. Shaded regions depict the estimation standard deviation. Bottom: the results are summarizedBack to article page
