Method for the calculation of velocity, rate of flow and viscous drag in arteries when the pressure gradient is known
TLDR
The experiments of McDonald and his co-workers have shown that in the larger arteries of the rabbit and the dog there is a reversal of the flow, and the simple mathematical treatment has strong similarities with the theory of the distribution of alternating current in a conductor of finite size.Abstract:
The experiments of McDonald and his co-workers (McDonald, 1952, 1955; Helps & McDonald, 1953) have shown that in the larger arteries of the rabbit and the dog there is a reversal of the flow. Measurements of the pressure gradient (Helps & McDonald, 1953) showed a phase-lag between pressure gradient and flow somewhat analogous with the phase-lag between voltage and current in a conductor carrying alternating current, and the simple mathematical treatment given below has strong similarities with the theory of the distribution of alternating current in a conductor of finite size.read more

Blood flow in arteries
TL;DR: The study of arterial blood flow will lead to the prediction of individual hemodynamic flows in any patient, the development of diagnostic tools to quantify disease, and the design of devices that mimic or alter blood flow.

TL;DR: The software system developed provides an integrated set of tools to solve clinically relevant blood flow problems and test hypotheses regarding hemodynamic factors in vascular adaptation and disease and the validity of the computational method was established.

TL;DR: It is shown that three dimensionless parameters can be used to characterize the unsteady flow in a stenosis and the effect of unsteadiness is investigated experimentally using axisymmetric and nonsymmetric models.

TL;DR: An image-based patient-specific numeric models can be constructed in an efficient manner that allows clinical studies of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics, and interesting trends in the association between hemodynamic features and aneurysmal rupture were found.

The relation of pulsatile pressure to flow in arteries.
TL;DR: General agreement between observed and calculated flow curves has been found and so establishes the validity of the theoretical derivation based on general hydrodynamic principles and also justifies the method of recording flows.
