TL;DR: A windkessel model with two resistors and a capacitor to reproduce beat-to-beat changes in middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity in response to arterial pressure changes measured in the finger suggests that the initial increase in cerebrovascular resistance can explain the widening of the cerebral blood flow pulse observed in young subjects.

1999 journal article

Structured tree outflow condition for blood flow in larger systemic arteries

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 276(1), H257–H268.

By: M. Olufsen*

author keywords: arterial modeling; mathematical modeling; arterial outflow boundary condition
MeSH headings : Arteries / physiology; Blood Pressure / physiology; Humans; Models, Cardiovascular; Pulsatile Flow; Regional Blood Flow / physiology; Vascular Resistance / physiology
TL;DR: A structured tree attached to the terminal branches of the truncated arterial tree in which the root impedance is estimated using a semianalytical approach based on a linearization of the viscous axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations provides a dynamic boundary condition that maintains the phase lag between blood flow and pressure as well as the high-frequency oscillations present in the impedance spectra.
