title: Cardiovascular blood flow analysis under normal and open injury conditions.
abstract: The aim of this paper is to enable a simulation tool for cardiovascular blood flow in order to better understand normal and hemorrhage conditions. A second order partial differential model for cardiovascular blood flow is employed. The individual components of the model is represented as an RLC circuit representation. Injury behavior is simulated by varying the circuit system parameters for the section representing different arterial levels. Our results show that significant changes in the blood flow inside the cardiovascular system can be observed when different injury conditions are modeled.
