A well‐known reduced model of the flow of blood in arteries can be formulated as a strictly hyperbolic system of two scalar balance laws in one space dimension where the unknowns are the cross‐sectional area of the artery and the average blood flow velocity as functions of the axial coordinate and time. This system is endowed with an entropy pair such that solutions of the balance equations satisfy...
