Abstract
We consider a one-dimensional blood flow model suitable for larger arteries. It consists of a hyperbolic system of two coupled nonlinear equations. The model has already been successfully used in practice. Its numerical solution is usually achieved by means of an explicit Taylor–Galerkin scheme. We have proposed a different approach. The system can be transformed to characteristic directions emphasizing the physical nature of the problem. We solved this system by using an operator splitting on a moving grid.
