Simulation of pulse wave propagation using one-dimensional models of hemodynamics

Abstract The models of hemodynamics, corresponding to the inviscid, Newtonian, and non-Newtonian models, are compared. The models are constructed by the averaging of the hydrodynamic system on the vessel cross-section. For the inviscid case, the analytical solution of the problem for pulse propagation is obtained. As the result of the comparison, the deviations of the solutions for non-Newtonian models from the Newtonian and inviscid cases are demonstrated.
