Why the study?
Does a visco-elastic 1-D numerical model improve the accuracy of simulated pressure and flow wave propagation compared to a purely elastic model in a human arterial network replica?
Does a visco-elastic 1-D numerical model improve the accuracy of simulated pressure and flow wave propagation compared to a purely elastic model in a human arterial network replica?
Including wall visco-elasticity in 1-D numerical models of the human arterial network significantly improves the accuracy of pressure and flow wave simulations compared to purely elastic models.
