PULSATILE MOTION OF BLOOD IN A CIRCULAR TUBE OF VARYING CROSS-SECTION WITH SLIP FLOW

Authors

Abstract:

Pulsatile motion of blood in a circular tube of varying cross-section has been developed by considering slip flow at the tube wall and the blood to be a non- Newtonian biviscous incompressible fluid. The tube wall is supposed to be permeable and the fluid exchange across the wall is accounted for by prescribing the normal velocity of the fluid at the tube wall. The tangential velocity of the fluid at the tube wall is also accounted in the present investigation. A perturbation technique has been carried out for low Reynolds number flow and for small amplitude of oscillation. The effects of slip parameter, leakage parameter, Reynolds number and apparent viscosity coefficient on the streamlines, wall shear stress and pressure drop have been discussed and shown graphically for suction and injection respectively.

Pulsatile Flow in Circular Tubes of Varying Cross-section with Suction/injection

We consider here pulsatile flow in circular tubes of varying cross-section with permeable walls. The fluid exchange across the wall is accounted for by prescribing the normal velocity of the fluid at the wall. A perturbation analysis has been carried out for low Reynolds number flows and for small amplitudes of oscillation. It has been observed that the magnitude of the wall shear stress and th...

Flow Visualization Around a Non - Circular Tube

The flow behavior around a cam shaped tube in cross flow has been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and pressure distribution measurement. The range of attack angle and Reynolds number based on an equivalent circular diameter are within 0 ≤ α ≤ 360˚ and 2 x 104 < Reeq < 3.4 x 104, respectively. The pressure drag features are clarified in relation to the flow behavior around t...

Simulation of Convective Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid in a Circular Cross-section

The CFD simulation of heat transfer characteristics of a nanofluid ina circular tube under convective heat transferwas considered using the fluentsoftware (version 6.3.26) in the laminar flow. Al2O3nano- particles in water with concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% were studied in the simulation. All thermo-physical properties of nanofluids were temperature independent. It was concluded t...

Slip-flow Pressure Drop in Microchannels of General Cross-section

In the present study, a compact analytical model is developed to determine the pressure drop of fully-developed, incompressible, and constant properties slip-flow through arbitrary cross-section microchannels. An averaged firstorder Maxwell slip boundary condition is considered. Introducing a relative velocity, the difference between the bulk flow and the boundary velocities, the axial momentum...
