Abstract
We present a mathematical model of the human fetal arterial circulatio n based on mass and momentum conservation -for a one-dimensional flow. In order to identify the parameters of the model and to solve it, we have developed a mathematical algorithm combining an optimization meth od and a finite differences scheme. The model was validated by compari ng the numerical results to the ultrasound measurements.
