artery_pde, a MATLAB code which solves a partial differential equation (PDE) in one spatial dimension and time, that models the displacement of arterial walls under pressure.
The method of lines is used to solve the system. The resulting system of ODE's is uncoupled, so while this is formally a PDE, it could be regarded as simply a collection of ODE's.
