What does "bed" mean in this context?
However, computational simulations have been rarely used to predict pulsatile flow and pressure fields of three-dimensional coronary vascular beds, in part because the flow rate and pressure in the coronary vascular beds are highly related to the interactions
between the heart and the arterial system.

thanks in advance for your help:)))

Answer

vascular bed: an intricate network of minute blood vessels that ramifies through the tissues of the body or of one of its parts.

Answer

In this context, it means a group. We often talk about a bed of flowers, which means an area where flowers or plants have been deliberately placed. I do not understand the scientific language used in your example, but a 'group' is probably the best description.

Answer

thanks a lot Beth

Answer

Vascular beds are anatomical term, and are part of the vascular system. "Bed" can mean the lower part/layer, often out of which something grows - like a flower bed.
