13. Analyzing arterial blood flow by simulation of bifurcation trees
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Matematik och tillämpad matematikAbstract : The flow of blood in the human body is a very important component in un-derstanding a number of different ailments such as atherosclerosis and a falseaneurysm. In this thesis, we have utilized Poiseuille’s solution to Navier-Stokesequations with a Newtonian, incompressible fluid flowing laminar with zero ac-celeration in a pipe with non-flexible walls in order to study blood flow in anarterial tree.
