Quasi-One-Dimensional Flow of a Fluid with Anisotropic Viscosity in a Pulsating Vessel

Abstract

The problem on a fluid flow in a pulsating vessel is considered in the framework of the quasi-one-dimensional hemodynamic equations. The fluid viscosity is assumed to be anisotropic; i.e., the viscosity coefficient depends on the flow direction. The possible solutions are studied analytically and numerically.
