Question:

The velocity, \(c\), at which pressure pulses travel through arteries (pulse-wave velocity) is a function of the artery diameter, \(D\), and wall thickness, \(h\), the density of blood, \(ho\), and the modulus of elasticity, \(E\), of the arterial wall. Determine a set of nondimensional parameters that can be used to study experimentally the relationship between the pulse-wave velocity and the variables listed. Form the nondimensional parameters by inspection.
