Abstract:In this paper, we present an analytic solution for pulse wave propagation in a flexible arterial model with tapering, physiological boundary conditions and variable wall properties (wall elasticity and thickness). The change of wall properties follows a profile that is proportional to
$r^\alpha$
, where
$r$
represents the lumen radius and
$\alpha$
is a material coefficient. The cross-sectionally averaged velocity and pressure ar… Show more
