We consider a 1D model for the simulation of the cardiovascular system. We solve it numerically using the discontinuous Galerkin scheme, and we perform an optimization scenario to find the best value for the heart rate in order to obtain a desired outflow. We study the effects of a growing network (in size, length and radii) on the heart rate, assuming that this needs to adapt for delivering a desired outflow. As inflow condition we prescribe the flow and as outflow condition we use the terminal reflection coefficient.

Abstract
We consider a 1D model for the simulation of the cardiovascular system. We solve it numerically using the discontinuous Galerkin scheme, and we perform an optimization scenario to find the best value for the heart rate in order to obtain a desired outflow. We study the effects of a growing network (in size, length and radii) on the heart rate, assuming that this needs to adapt for delivering a desired outflow. As inflow condition we prescribe the flow and as outflow condition we use the terminal reflection coefficient.File in questo prodotto:
