Title: High order finite element simulations for fluid dynamics validated by experimental data from the fda benchmark nozzle model,
Abstract: The objective of the present work is to construct a sound mathematical,
numerical and computational framework relevant to blood flow simulations and to
assess it through a careful validation against experimental data. We perform
simulations of a benchmark proposed by the FDA for fluid flow in an idealized
medical device, under different flow regimes. The results are evaluated using
metrics proposed in the literature and the findings are in very good agreement
with the validation experiment.
