Abstract
For the analysis of flows in compliant vessels, we propose an approach to c
ouple the original 3D equations with a convenient 1D model. This multi-scal
e strategy allows for a dramatic reduction of the computational complexity
and is suitable for "absorbing" outgoing pressure waves. In particular, it
is of utmost interest for the description of blood motion in the arterial s
