Wave propagation into the spinal cavity: a 1d model with coaxial compliant tubes
Résumé
One–Dimensional models have been used to simulate pulse waves propagation in the spinal cavity and the interactions between CSF, blood and the spinal cord. Some adopted compliant coaxial configurations but neglected the fluid's viscosity [1, 2] while others took into account CSF viscosity but simplified the cavity as one equivalent distensible tube [3]. Previous studies in the inviscid coaxial configuration have shown that the confinement reduces the wave propagation speed of the compliant part by a factor equal to the square root of the area parameter, i.e. the ratio of the tubes cross-sectional areas, when the dura is considered rigid.
