Two aspects of a widely used 1D model of blood flow in a single blood vessel are studied by symmetry analysis, where the variables in the model are the blood pressure and the cross-section area of the blood vessel. As one main result, all…
One of the main characteristics of blood coagulation is the speed of clot growth. This parameter strongly depends on the speed of propagation of the thrombin concentration in blood plasma. In the current work we consider mathematical model…

The Navier-Stokes equations are the governing equations of fluid flows. They are deemed to embody all physics in a flow of Newtonian fluids like water, especially when we assume the fluid is incompressible. Fluid flows are usually described…
