Abstract: A common occurrence in the arterial system is the narrowing of arteries due to the development of atherosclerotic plaques or other types of abnormal tissue development. As these growths project ...

Abstract: A finite-element model for pulsatile flow in a straight flexible partially obstructed tube is developed. In the unobstructed sections of the tube the model considers the continuity equation, the ...

Abstract: A nonlinear mathematical model of arterial blood flow, which can account for tapering, branching, and the presence of stenosed segments, is presented. With the finite-element method, the model ...
