BLOOD FLOW THROUGH A CIRCULAR PIPE WITH AN IMPULSIVE PRESSURE GRADIENT
2000
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences
The unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a straight, long, rigid pipe, driven by a suddenly imposed pressure gradient is studied. The used model is the Oldroyd-B fluid modified with the use of a nonconstant viscosity, which includes the effect of the shearthinning of many fluids. The main application considered is in blood flow. Two coupled nonlinear equations are solved by a spectral collocation method in space and the implicit trapezoidal finite difference method in time.
