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.

Asymmetry and transition to turbulence in a smooth axisymmetric constriction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the flow through a smooth axisymmetric constriction of 75% restriction in area using stereoscopic and time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) in the Reynolds number range Re ~ 100-1100.

Effect of non-Newtonian property of blood on flow through a stenosed tube

TL;DR: In this paper, the bi-viscosity model is used as a constitutive equation for blood, and the flow is assumed to be periodic, incompressible and axisymmetric.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viscous flow in variable cross-section microchannels of arbitrary shapes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an approximate model for determining the pressure drop of laminar, single-phase flow in slowly-varying microchannels of arbitrary cross-sections based on the solution of a channel of elliptical cross-section.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of inertial effects on solute dispersion in a channel with periodically varying aperture

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated solute transport in channels with a periodically varying aperture, when the flow is still laminar but sufficiently fast for inertial effects to be non-negligible.

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.

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.
