Can pulsatile CSF flow across the cerebral aqueduct cause ventriculomegaly? A prospective study of patients with communicating hydrocephalus

Table 2 Mesh sensitivity analysis for the maximum pressure difference ΔP_max across the CA (presented in Pa)

Test subject	Coarsest mesh	Intermediate mesh	Finest mesh
1	66.0	65.9	66.4
2	18.2	18.6	18.3
3	25.2	20.9	19.6
4	23.2	19.8	19.7
5	38.9	34.5	35.2

Coarsest, intermediate and finest corresponded to mesh elements roughly of the order 10⁵, 4 × 10⁵ and 10⁶, respectively. The intermediate mesh was the one chosen for the main analysis
