In this work we investigated the possibility to predict the pressure drops across a patient-specific arterio-venous fistula (AVF) by means of an open-source hemodynamics solver aimed at convection-dominated incompressible flows. To account for the very high flow rates that develop in AVFs we considered a wide range of steady input flow conditions (corresponding to Reynolds numbers 100, 200, 550, 1000,...
