Abstract
⺠We test the accuracy of the nonlinear 1-D equations of blood flow in large arteries. ⺠We compare wave measurements in a silicone tree with numerical predictions. ⺠1-D modelling is able to capture the main features of pulse waveforms. ⺠Simulation of wall visco-elasticity significantly decreases relative errors. ⺠Energy losses at bifurcations have a secondary effect on pulse waveforms.
