Abstract :
This paper introduces and compares two new models for the blood flow in the human arterial system. The first one is a hydrostatic model for the average flow and pressure values within the network. It is capable of being identified individually for each patient with a minimum amount of work. The second one is a hydrodynamic model for the pulse wave propagation within the arterial network. Due to the complexity of this one, it is a difficult task to obtain individual patient data, but it is designed for principal investigations of pathological pulse forms
