Abstract: There are several mechanisms potentially involved in the breakdown of steady fluid flow in a collapsible tube under external pressure. Here we investigate one that has received little attention ...

Abstract: A simple model is presented to analyze the effect of stenoses of different severities in a long elastic tube or artery on the pressure and flow-rate wave forms incident upon them. Wave ...

Abstract: The site opposite an end-to-side anastomosis, resulting from femoral bypass surgery, and the carotid sinus are two regions well known to be prone to fibrous intimal hyperplasia or atherogenesis, ...

Abstract: A model for the coupled problem of wall deformation and fluid flow, based on thin-shell and lubrication theories, and driven by a propagating wave of smooth muscle activation, is proposed for ...

Abstract: Computations and flow visualization experiments have been carried out on 2-D flow in a channel, with an indentation in one wall that can move in and out. There is plane Poiseuille flow ...
