A shallow water with variable pressure model for blood flow simulation

TLDR
In this paper, numerical simulations of blood flow in arteries with a variable stiffness and cross-section at rest using a finite volume method coupled with a hydrostatic reconstruction of the variables at the interface of each mesh cell were performed.
Abstract
We performed numerical simulations of blood flow in arteries with a variable stiffness and cross-section at rest using a finite volume method coupled with a hydrostatic reconstruction of the variables at the interface of each mesh cell. The method was then validated on examples taken from the literature. Asymptotic solutions were computed to highlight the effect of the viscous and viscoelastic source terms. Finally, the blood flow was computed in an artery where the cross-section at rest and the stiffness were varying. In each test case, the hydrostatic reconstruction showed good results where other simpler schemes did not, generating spurious oscillations and nonphysical velocities.

A 2D nonlinear multiring model for blood flow in large elastic arteries

TL;DR: It is shown that the finite volume numerical solution of the multiring model provides at a reasonable computational cost an asymptotically valid description of blood flow velocity profiles and other averaged quantities in large elastic and quasi-rigid arteries.

Low-Shapiro hydrostatic reconstruction technique for blood flow simulation in large arteries with varying geometrical and mechanical properties

TL;DR: The results indicate that HR is not adapted to compute blood flow in large arteries as it is unable to capture wave reflections and transmissions when large variations of the arteries' geometrical and mechanical properties are considered, and HR-S is exactly well-balanced and is the most accurate hydrostatic reconstruction technique.

Mathematics and Numerics for Balance Partial Differential-Algebraic Equations (PDAEs)

TL;DR: An alternative formulation to study numerically and theoretically the PDAEs is proposed by changing the algebraic conditions into partial differential equations with relaxation source terms (PDREs), which is naturally parallelizable and has faster convergence.

Reduced-order models for blood flow in networks of large arteries

Arthur Ghigo
TL;DR: This work has focused on one-dimensional models for blood flow and developed novel approaches that take into account the non-Newtonian behavior of blood and the viscoelastic response of the arterial wall, and proposed a fluid-structure interaction twodimensional blood flow model to capture the complex flow patterns in stenoses and aneurysms unavailable to classical one- dimensional models.

Reduced-Order Models for Blood Pressure Drop Across Arterial Stenoses

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used four different blood flow models to compute the pressure in an idealized geometry of stenosis: the steady RNSP model, the Multi-Ring model, 1D model, and algebraic models.

On Upstream Differencing and Godunov-Type Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

TL;DR: This paper reviews some of the recent developments in upstream difference schemes through a unified representation, in order to enable comparison between the various schemes.

Waves in fluids

TL;DR: One-dimensional waves in fluids as discussed by the authors were used to describe sound waves and water waves in the literature, as well as the internal wave and the water wave in fluids, and they can be classified into three classes: sound wave, water wave, and internal wave.
