title: On the potentialities of 3D-1D coupled models in hemodynamics simulations.
abstract: This work comprises a step towards the quantitative and qualitative analysis of coupled local and global hemodynamics phenomena in the arterial system. The aim of this work is to present some numerical examples to put in evidence the importance of the use of 3D-1D coupled models in hemodynamics problems when carrying out simulations of rather complex situations. Accordingly, some cases for which classical modeling cannot be applied are identified and solved. The results obtained here allow us to assess some interrelations between local pointwise quantities (defined at the level of the 3D model) and global mean quantities (defined at the level of the 1D model).
