Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was produced by partial abdominal aortic constriction (PAAC) for 4 wk, while physiological cardiac hypertrophy was produced by chronic swimming training (CST) for 8 wk in rats. Pentoxifylline (30 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg i.p., day-1) treatment was started three days before PAAC and CST and it was continued for 4 wk in PAAC and 8 wk in CST experimental model. The left ve...

We consider the problem of a body moving within an incompressible fluid at constant speed parallel to a wall in an otherwise unbounded domain. This situation is modeled by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a planar exterior domain in a half space with appropriate boundary conditions on the wall, the body, and at infinity. We focus on the case where the size of the body is small. We ...

This review surveys the dramatic variations in wake structures and flow transitions, addition to body forces, that appear as motion of bluff bodies through a fluid occurs increasingly closer solid wall. In particular, we discuss two cases translating parallel walls at varying heights impacting on walls. former case, highlight changes varies from an isolated or very close wall, including effects...
