Computational fluid dynamics of the right atrium: Assessment of modelling criteria for the evaluation of dialysis catheters.

Central venous catheters are widely used in haemodialysis therapy, having to respect design requirements for appropriate performance. These are placed within the right atrium (RA); however, there is no prior computational study assessing different catheter designs while mimicking their native enviro...
