The document describes two analog models used to model blood flow: mechanical and electrical models. The mechanical (Windkessel) model represents the aorta and peripheral vessels as a compliant air cell and rigid tube with resistance. Blood flow and pressure are modeled with linear equations. The electrical model represents vessel resistance as resistors, compliance as capacitors, and inertia as inductors to investigate blood flow phenomena through analogous linear differential equations. Kirchhoff's law is then used to derive the governing differential equation.
