TL;DR: In this article, the effect of microbubbles on a zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer generated on the test section wall of a water tunnel is described and the effects of buoyancy on skin friction reduction are also documented.

TL;DR: The results of earlier integrated skin-friction measurements, that showed the reduction to be a function of plate orientation, gas-flow rate and free-stream velocity, have been confirmed both qualitatively and quantitatively as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a computational interlaboratory study to determine the suitability and methodology for simulating fluid flow in an idealized medical device, which was a cylindrical nozzle with a conical collector and sudden expansion on either side of a 0.04 m long, 0.004 m diameter throat.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the use and limitations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in assessing blood flow parameters related to medical device safety, including mean velocity and turbulent flow quantities.

TL;DR: The fluid mechanics of artificial blood pumps has been studied since the early 1970s in an attempt to understand and mitigate hemolysis and thrombus formation by the device.
