The 2-component dispersionless Burgers equation arising in the modelling of blood flow

arXiv:1211.5546 · doi:10.3934/cpaa.2012.11.1563

Abstract

This article investigates the properties of the solutions of the dispersionless two-component Burgers (B2) equation, derived as a model for blood-flow in arteries with elastic walls. The phenomenon of wave breaking is investigated as well as applications of the model to clinical conditions.
