Abstract
A technique is presented for the construction of compliant branched vessel models. Properties include wall transparency and geometric reproduction to any scale. A method for characterization of vessel compliance is discussed, as is the requirement for hydrodynamic similarity.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
