Abstract

Analysis of the dynamics of complex fluid systems is facilitated by subdivision of the systems into simpler elements. In many instances, such elements can be represented by pipe units, but for parts where multiple conduits are joined proximately, when there can be large area differences or when a geometric subdivision is difficult to create, we must generalize the approach to consider an elemental representation as a matrix of values for the flow resistance and inertance. Here we discuss the theory behind such an approach and give examples of the use of the theory: Asai’s inkjet and an arteriovenous fistula.
