Analysis of the effects of gravity and wall thickness in a model of blood flow through axisymmetric vessels.

The effects of gravitational forces and wall thickness on the behaviour of a model of blood flow through axisymmetric vessels were studied. The governing fluid dynamic equations were derived from the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid and linked to a simple model of the vessel wall....
