In this dissertation, mass transport in cardiovascular system has been simulated using one-dimensional approach. As one-dimensional simulation has computation cost less than that of the three-dimensional simulations, and as it is more precise than lumped models, they are extensively used in the study of the phenomena in cardiovascular system. In addition, such an approach is more useful in the extraction of medical indices. In this study, a one-dimensional geometry of the systemic arteries has been used to solve momentum and continuity equations using characteristics method.
At first, the physiological data of the systemic arteries have been used to simulate a one-dimensional geometry...
