On the evolution of shock-waves in mathematical models of the aorta
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
The one-dimensional, non-linear theory of pulse propagation in large arteries is examined in the light of the analogy which exists with gas dynamics. Numerical evidence for the existence of shock-waves in current one-dimensional blood-flow models is presented. Some methods of suppressing shock-wave development in these models are indicated.
