Methods of Blood Flow Modelling

The paper [9] is devoted to recent developments in blood flow modelling. It begins with the discussion of blood rheology and its non-Newtonian properties. After that it presents some modelling methods where blood is considered as a heterogeneous fluid composed of plasma and blood cells. Namely, it describes the method of Dissipative Particle Dynamics and presents some results of blood flow modelling. The last part of this paper deals with one-dimensional global models of blood circulation. It explains the main ideas of this approach and presents some examples of its application.
