The work aims to develop simplified models that can aid medical practitioners in diagnosing abnormalities in blood flow. It is composed of four articles, each addressing different aspects of the modeling process. The first article presents a model for the elastic behavior of the pipe walls, considering their laminate structure and interaction with surrounding materials. The second article models blood flow through moderately curved and elastic blood vessels using linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The third article derives a simplified model for a false aneurysm, while the final article discusses a modified Reynolds equation for fluid flow through narrow, curvilinear tubes. The thesis is intended for researchers and practitioners in mathematics and applied sciences, particularly those interested in fluid dynamics and biomedical engineering. ER -
