Forced perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation in an elastic tube filled with a viscous fluid

In the present work, treating the arteries as a prestressed thin walled elastic tube with a stenosis and the blood as a Newtonian fluid, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a composite medium, in the long wave approximation, by use of the reductive perturbation method [...
