Spectral element modeling and analysis of the blood flow through a human blood vessel

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the blood flow characteristics are closely related to various cardiovascular diseases, it is very important to predict
them accurate enough in an efficient way. Thus, this paper proposes a one-dimensional spectral element model for
human blood vessels with varying cross-sections. The spectral element model is formulated by using the variational
approach of finite element formulation. The wave solutions analytically solved in the frequency-domain to satisfy governing
equations are used to determine the frequency-dependent interpolation functions. The spectral finite element
model is then applied to an example blood vessel to investigate the blood flow rate and blood pressure through the
blood vessel.
