A Model for Intracranial Hydrodynamics

This paper presents a model for simulation of intracranial fluid dynamics. The intention is to show how to build a model for this biomedical system by using general techniques known to control engineers. By employing first order principles (like conservation of mass, ...) and constitutive equations, the 'biological' control loops are interpreted in a technical manner allowing to study the behaviour of the biological system in a simulation environment and to get a better understanding without harming a single patient
