“…Similar systems can also be assembled by coupling 3D CFD models with 1D peripheral counterparts. While techniques for parameter estimation and data assimilation in lumped circulation networks have been proposed in the literature (see, e.g., Spilker and Taylor, 2010, Revie et al, 2013, Sughimoto et al, 2013, Yu et al, 2001, Xiao et al, 2002, Deswysen, 1977, Clark et al, 1980, Deswysen et al, 1980, McInnis et al, 1985, Shimooka et al, 1991, Avanzolini et al, 1992, Ruchti et al, 1993, Yu et al, 1998), the computational cost of solving the coupled 0D/3D problem has prevented extension of these techniques to multiscale models.…”
