Thermal characteristics of tree-shaped microchannel nets for cooling of a rectangular heat sink
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated conjugated fluid flow and heat transfer through tree-shaped branching microchannel networks, which is embedded in a rectangular heat sink, and showed that such channel networks have certain advantages over conventional parallel channel nets such as lower and more uniform temperature distribution and better stability in case of accidental blockage in channel segments.

Relation between diameter and flow in major branches of the arch of the aorta.
TL;DR: The results show unequivocally that the relation between diameter and flow is governed by a 'square law' rather than the classical cube law, which suggests that the square law may apply at the first few levels of the arterial tree, while the cube law continues from there to perhaps the precapillary levels.

The Physics of Coronary Blood Flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the dynamics and physics of coronary blood flow, and demonstrate how a disruption in these dynamics can affect coronary flow as significantly as can the obstruction of a blood vessel.

Angiogenesis and hypertension
TL;DR: This work has shown that genetic and fetal influences appear to have significant effects in determining impaired vascular development as an early cause of essential hypertension.
