TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of dominating parameters, i.e., flow velocity, half cycle, and equivalence ratio, on the formation of temperature profiles in the porous body was investigated.

TL;DR: Interstitial flow through the tunica media of an artery wall in the presence of the internal elastic lamina, which separates it from the subendothelial intima, has been studied numerically and the results indicate that the value of the average shear stress around the circumference of the SMC in the immediate vicinity of the fenestral pore could be as much as 100 times greater than that around an SMCs in the fully developed interstitial flow region away from the IEL.

TL;DR: A large negative phase angle between CS and WSS (stress phase angle—SPA) is revealed on the outer wall of the carotid sinus where atherosclerotic plaques are localized.

TL;DR: A three-dimensional numerical simulation of interstitial flow through the medial layer of an artery accounting for the complex entrance condition associated with fenestral pores in the internal elastic lamina is described to investigate the fluid mechanical environment around the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) right beneath the IEL.

TL;DR: A two-dimensional numerical simulation model is developed to resolve the influence of the internal elastic lamina on convective-diffusive transport of macromolecules in the media and demonstrates a range of interesting features of molecular transport and uptake in theMedia that are determined by considering the balance among convection, diffusion, and SMC surface reaction.
