Figure 1. — Flow models in a single vessel and vessel bifurcation. (A) Scheme of a single uniform cylindrical coronary vessel and its pressure boundary conditions: P_in, the inlet pressure; P_out, the outlet pressure; P_T, the surrounding tissue pressure. (B) Lumped three-element Windkessel model of a single vessel segment consisting of two nonlinear resistors connected in series and a parallel nonlinear capacitor. (C) Lumped model of a single bifurcation of a parent vessel into two daughters.
