Flow through a converging-diverging tube and its implications in occlusive vascular disease — II: Theoretical and experimental results and their implications

TLDR
An experimental program to study the flow characteristics of an incompressible fluid through an axisymmetric converging-diverging tube is described, the theoretical and experimental results are compared, and some speculations are made on their implications in occlusive vascular disease.

Quantifying Compressibility and Slip in Multiparticle Collision (MPC) Flow Through a Local Constriction

TL;DR: The flow of a compressible fluid with slip through a cylinder with an asymmetric local constriction with a polynomial form has been considered both numerically, as well as analytically.

Colloid particles in microfluidic inertial hydrodynamic ratchet at moderate Reynolds number.

TL;DR: The method of Fick-Jacobs mapping is used and it is shown that the ratchet current is strictly related to finite size of the particles, which means that Reynolds number must be at least of order one.

Numerical Study on Three-Dimensional Unsteady Blood Flow through an Artery with a Small Side Branch.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used finite element methods to numerically analyze three-dimensional unsteady blood flow through an artery with a small side branch using the finite-element method and showed that the branch angle does not have a strong effect on the flow rate through the side branch.

Acute Vascular Endothelial Changes Associated with Increased Blood Velocity Gradients

TL;DR: The purpose of this study is to quantify the acute changes in endothelial histology that are associated with an induced increase in blood velocity and to establish the “normal” endothelial cell population density as a function of stress exposure.
Book

Slow viscous flow

TL;DR: The second edition of this book as mentioned in this paper is the most complete and complete version of the first edition of the paper, with a much richer coverage of theoretical hydrodynamics, including the second principle of thermodynamics, the Boussinesq approximation, time dependent flows, Marangoni convection, Kovasznay flow, plane periodic solutions, Hele-Shaw cells, Stokeslets, rotlets, finite element methods, Wannier flow, corner eddies, and analysis of the Stokes operator.
