This example models blood flow in a simple, symmetric pulmonary arterial network by solving the Navier-Stokes flow equations, including the effects of gravity. The main arterial trunk vessels are read in and 4 generations of symmetric branching are created from these end points. The reduced Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a Lax-Wendroff numerical technique, the solution procedure used is detailed in Smith (2002) .
