Abstract

This dataset contains the HemeLB input files used to run the blood flow simulations described in our manuscript "High fidelity physiological blood flow in patient-specific arteriovenous fistula for clinical applications". These work with the PressureCouplingBeds and ResistorCapacitorBeds branches of the source code available at https://github.com/UCL-CCS/HemePure_SelfCoupled.

Provided in this dataset are four *.tar.gz files containing the necessary input files for the flow simulations through the arteries and veins of the left forearm discussed in our manuscript: 1) Healthy vessels, 2) Arteriovenous fistula via modified mapping, 3) End-to-Side arteriovenous fistula and 4) Side-to-Side arteriovenous fistula. The files for 1), 3) and 4) contain the *.gmy files, input *.xml files for arteries and veins, the *0to1.txt map files describing the mapping parameters for the capillaries beds of the models and the MESH* files used to construct velocity boundary conditions for the geometry inlets. The *.gmy and MESH* files for 1) are reused for 2) in conjunction with the input* and  *0to1.txt map files provided for 2). When launching the jobs, all relevant files are called from the input *.xml files - those labelled PCB are to be used with the PressurCoupling Beds branch and the those labelled RC with the ResistorCapacitorBeds branch.
