Comparison between the simulated and the desired flow rate (Q) ratios as \(\gamma _R\) varies for a fixed \(\gamma _{RC}/\gamma _R\). The results are obtained from the simulations on the coarse grid of the profunda femoris domain using \(\gamma _{RC}/\gamma _R = 64\). The outlet 5 was arbitrarily selected as the reference when computing these ratios. We observe that the percentage error of the Q ratios reduces exponentially as \(\gamma _R\) increases; when \(\log _2 \gamma _R = 10\), the errors in all the outlets are within 7%.
