Poiseuille's Equation for Blood Flow

Go Blood Flow = ((Final Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of Blood)*pi*(Radius of Artery^4)/(8*Length of the Capillary Tube*Density))

Pulse Wave Velocity using Moens-Korteweg equation

Go Pulse Wave Velocity = sqrt((Elastic (tangent) Modulus at Blood Pressure P*Thickness of Artery)/(2*Blood Density*Radius of Artery))
