abstract: Blood flow analysis is a study of measuring the blood pressure and finding its equivalent 
flow rate, velocity profile and wall shear stress. In this article, the relationship between 
blood pressure gradient, velocity profile, centreline velocity, volumetric flow rate and wall 
shear stress is determined analytically through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed 
using MatLab. If one of these time-dependent blood flow properties is known, i.e. pressure 
gradient, velocity profile, volumetric flow rate or wall shear stress, then the remaining 
properties can be calculated. A code is developed to solve these blood flow properties. Any 
time-dependent blood properties can be used as input data. These data are then digitized 
and saved in this code. Subsequently, these data are curve-fitted using the Fourier series. 
The corresponding coefficients of Fourier series are then used to calculate the blood 
property. Once this is obtained, the remaining three other flow properties can be 
subsequently calculated. This GUI serves as a learning tool for students who wish to 
pursue his/her knowledge in understanding the relationship of various blood flow properties 
of pulsatile blood flow as well as the mathematics governing pulsatile flows. (Authors' abstract)
