Abstract: We derive a nonlinear model for the pressure and flow velocity wave propagation in an arterial segment. We then study the transmission and reflection of pulses at bifurcation. We observe a linear dependence of the transmitted speeds to the incoming speeds, and similarly for the reflected speeds. We propose a method for validating the numerical results obtained from this model against real data.
