Abstract: Flow separation in a divergent channel was investigated in connection with problems of instability and oscillations in physiology at a Reynolds number range much smaller than that usually ...

Abstract: With an objective to understand arteriosclerosis, the blood flow in a circular cylindrical tube with a local constriction is analyzed. Numerical results are presented for the streamlines and the ...

Abstract: The function of the esophagus is mechanical. To understand the function, it is necessary to know how the stress and strain in the esophagus can be computed, and how to determine the stress-strain ...

Abstract: In tissue, medical, or dental engineering, when blood comes into contact with a new artificial material, the flow may be influenced by surface tension between the blood and the surface of the ...
