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.

Flow behaviour of blood cells and rigid spheres in an annular vortex.

TL;DR: The behaviour of human and frog red cells, platelets and rigid spheres were studied in the annular vortex formed in steady or pulsatile flow at the sudden concentric expansion of a 151 $\mu$ m into 504 $\mu $ m diameter glass tube.

Analysis of pulsatile, viscous blood flow through diseased coronary arteries of man*?

TL;DR: The rheologic effects of multiple “non-obstructive” plaques in main coronary arteries of man were examined by numerically solving the fluid dynamic equations of motion for pulsatile viscous flow of blood through an arterial section using the actual variation of flow rate during the cardiac cycle.

Comparison of physiological and simple pulsatile flows through stenosed arteries.

TL;DR: Comparison of results shows that the behaviors of the two flows are similar at some instances of time, however, important observed differences indicate that for thorough understanding of pulsatile flow behavior in stenosed arteries, the actual physiological flow should be simulated.

Quantitative angiographic morphology of the coronary artery lesions at risk of thrombotic occlusion.

TL;DR: Coronary artery lesions at high risk of thrombotic occlusion share common characteristics that favor higher shear stress and flow separation.

Flow in periodically constricted tubes: Transition to inertial and nonsteady flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a global Galerkin/spectral method is used in the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation in periodically constricted tubes and the axisymmetric stationary flow field is computed.

Filtration versus local formation of lipids in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Efforts should be directed toward detection, concentration, and possible clinical utilization of active principles that govern lipid transportation and local accumulation that seem likely that these active principles are enzyme-hormone complexes.

Thixotropy of Blood and Proneness to Thrombus Formation

TL;DR: The viscosity and thixotropy of human blood in the absence of anticoagulants was carried out by means of a rotational cone-in-cone viscometer and it is suggested that it may be also related to the proneness of thrombus formation.

Deposition of Flowborne Materials on Vessel Walls

TL;DR: In this paper, an air stream saturated with acetic acid vapor was blown through a tube made of agar which contained sodium hydroxide and phenolphthalein, where flow was laminar and transfer of acid from the stream to the wall and decoloration of the indicator were of limited degree.
