One-dimensional models of hemodynamics: comparison and analysis

The report is devoted to the one-dimensional mathematical models of blood flow, obtained by the averaging of equations of hydrodynamics on the vessel cross-section. Some of the new models deal with the non-Newtonian property of blood and the dependence of the viscosity on hematocrit. The process of pulse wave propagation in model vascular systems is considered. During the numerical solution, the influence of the viscosity, non-Newtonian terms, the shape of the velocity profile, and hematocrit values on the obtained solutions is investigated.
