This paper focuses on the optimization of traffic flow on a road network, modeled by a fluid-dynamic approach. Three cost functionals that measure average velocity, average traveling time, and total flux of cars, are considered. First, such functionals are optimized for two simple networks that consist of a single junction: one with two incoming and one outgoing roads (junctions of 2 × 1 type), and the other with one incoming and two outgoing roads (junctions of 1 × 2 type). The optimization is made with respect to right of way parameters and traffic distribution coefficients, obtaining an explicit solution. Then, through simulations, the traffic behavior for complex networks is studied. The main result is that the local optimization ensures a very good result also for the complete network. This is shown by the case study of Re di Roma Square, a big traffic circle of the urban network of Rome.

Vascular impedance in human pulmonary circulation is analyzed by the fluid dynamic approach. A model representing the entire system of pulmonary circulation is constructed based on experimentally measured morphometric and elasticity data of the vessels. The pulmonary arteries and veins are considered as elastic tubes. Their impedance follows Womersley’s theory and electric analogue. The “sheet-flow” theory is employed to describe the flow in capillaries and thus a microvascular impedance matrix is derived. The input impedance at the main pulmonary artery is calculated under both zone 3 and zone 2 conditions. The results are compared with available experimental data in the literature.
