In this work we study the hemodynamics in a stented artery connected either to a collateral artery or to an aneurysmal sac. The blood flow is driven by the pressure drop. Our aim is to characterize the flow-rate and the pressure in the…

In porous media, there are three known regimes of fluid flows, namely, pre-Darcy, Darcy and post-Darcy. Because of their different natures, these are usually treated separately in literature. To study complex flows when all three regimes…
