Hauser-System Analyze of The Windkessel Models
Hauser-System Analyze of The Windkessel Models
Abstract
This paper describes system analyze of the Windkessel models. The equations, space state and transfer functions of 2, 3
and 4 elements Windkessel models are described. The Simulink environment model schemas are presented as well.
The Bode frequency and step response analyses are presented for all three models as well. Moreover the simulation of
the special input signal which represents blood flow is described. The output signals are compared between each other
and with existing published Winkessel models simulation. The results of comparison are discussed.

Conclusion
The system analyze of Windkessel models was done.
The 2, 3 and 4 element Windkessel models were
created and simulated in Matlab Simulink environment.
The differential equations, state space matrices and
transfer function were described in the paper.
The frequency response Bode plot and step responses
were presented as well.
In spite of using same R, L, C and r constant
parameters for simulation as in existing published
simulation, the different results were obtained.
In addition the all output values were compared with
each other.
The calculated results will be compared with other
kinds of cardiovascular system models.
This analyze will be also used for better estimation
of model parameters from cardiac output and invasive
blood pressure measurement.
