Can someone help me step by step with part D? Consider the following lumped element model of a single vessel with the terminal resistance model.
The parameters are given by;
Vessel diameter, D=0.4cm, Vessel length, L=20cm, Vessel wall thickness, h=0.08D Vessel Young's modulus, E=2 MPa, Blood density, =1gcm3, and blood viscosity, =0.004Pa*sec.
The upstream pressure, PAA and the terminal resistance Z1 are time dependent and modeled by
PA=(Pmax-Pmin)1+cos(2ft)2+Pmin
Z1=(Zmax-Zmin)1+cos(2ft)2+Zmin
where Pmax=12000[Pa],Pmin=8000[Pa],Zmax=60000[PasecmL],
Pa sec/mL], and f=1[Hz](=60 BPM).
a. Derive a system of ODEs for P1(t) and Q1(t).
b. Write a computer program using the finite difference approximation and time marching method to solve for P1(t) and Q1(t). Plot P1(t) and Q1(t).
c. For the Runge-Kutta 4 stage (RK4) time marching method, find the maximum time step size, t allowing a stable solution.
d. Decrease the vessel diameter to 0.3,0.2,0.1, and 0.05 cm , and plot the time averaged flow rate Q1 versus the vessel cross sectional area.
