Abstract: This paper considers the flow of an inelastic liquid which is generated by contractions like those of the intestine. Unlike regular peristaltic motion, these contractions occur locally over a ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the axisymmetric flow in a cylindrical chamber of height H is presented, which is driven by a bottom disk rotating at angular velocity Ω. However, unlike most previous ...

Abstract: This paper considers the effects of non-Newtonian lining-fluid viscosity, particularly shear thinning and yield stress, on the reopening of the airways. The airway was simulated by a very thin, ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted in steady flow to examine the fluid dynamics performance of three prosthetic heart valves of 27 mm diameter: Starr-Edwards caged ball valve, Bjork-Shiley ...
