Abstract: Wall shear stress estimates from laminar boundary layer theory were found to agree fairly well with the magnitude of shear stress levels along coronary artery constrictions obtained from solutions ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of water flow through an abrupt circular-channel expansion is described over a Reynolds number range between 20 and 4200. The shear layer between the central jet ...

Abstract: Characterization of an existing sample of cenospheres produced during residual-oil-fired steam power plant combustion included: scanning electron microscopy of surface structure; photomicrography of ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional flow simulation at Repeak = 192 and 580 was made in a smooth reverse curvature model that conformed to the gentle “S” shape from a human left femoral artery angiogram. ...

Abstract: Quantitative methods to measure the hemodynamic consequences of various endovascular interventions including balloon angioplasty are limited. Catheters measuring translesional pressure drops during ...

Abstract: In-vitro, steady flow in a casting of the profunda femoris branch of the femoral artery of man was studied by measuring pressure differences in the main lumen and also in the branch over a ...

Abstract: Flow visualization and pressure measurements were made for physiological conditions in a model derived from a femoral angiorgram of a patient with lesion localization on the inner curvature wall ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was carried out to acquire an understanding of local pressure changes and flow along the main lumen of arterial branch models similar to the femoral artery of man ...
