The Effects of Non-Linearities on Wave Propagation and Time-Averaged Flow in Elastic Axi-Symmetric Vessels

In this paper, a power series and a Fourier series approach is used to solve the governing equations of motion in an elastic axi-symmetric vessel, assuming that blood is an incompressible Newtonian fluid. For vessels with wall stiffness in the arterial range, the viscosity reduces the wave speed by...
