Linear stability analysis of the three dimensional plane wake flow is performed using a mapped finite di?erence scheme in a domain which is doubly infinite in the cross–stream direction of wake flow. The physical domain in cross–stream direction is mapped to the computational domain using a cotangent mapping of the form y = ?cot(??). The Squire transformation [2], proposed by Squire, is also us...

abstract background: transcranial doppler ultrasonography results have not been previously studied in among iranian sickle cell anemia patients. the present study was performed to evaluate the pattern of intracranial flow velocities among iranian children with sickle cell anemia and the hematological parameters that can affect the time-averaged mean of maximum velocity in major intracranial art...

BACKGROUND Strain Rate Imaging shows the filling phases of the left ventricle to consist of a wave of myocardial stretching, propagating from base to apex. The propagation velocity of the strain rate wave is reduced in delayed relaxation. This study examined the relation between the propagation velocity of strain rate in the myocardium and the propagation velocity of flow during early filling. ...

Blood flow is modeled as non-Newtonian micropolar fluid. The non-linear governing equations of continuum and momentum in the cylindrical coordinate are being discretized using a finite difference approach and have been solved iteratively ,through Crank-Nicolson method. The blood velocity distribution, volumetric flow rate and Resistance to blood flow at the stenosis throat are computed for vari...

in this research, the effect of friction between the liquid metal and the sand mould wall and the effect of passage of liquid through a vertical bend and through a ceramic filter on the fluid flow and the melt velocity has been studied by measuring the velocity of the melt and direct observation of the liquid flow through the different parts of a naturally-pressurized running system. the fricti...

the purpose of this research is to numerically investigate the interaction of pulsatile flow of blood with an axisymmetric artery in various percentages of stenosis. the carreau non-newtonian model and the generalized maxwell rheological model were used to model the blood fluid and the viscoelastic wall of arterial, respectively. the innovation of the present research is modeling of viscoelasti...

The velocity of blood flow in the ophthalmic artery was measured with a transcranial Doppler ultrasound (2 MHz). Sixty patients with chronic open angle glaucoma (COAG), 42 patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG), and 35 normals were studied. Peak flow velocity (peak), mean-enveloped velocity (mean) and diastolic velocity were compared in the three groups. The COAG patients and the NTG patie...

background: numerical study of angulation effects of renal arteries on blood flow has been of great interest for many researchers. objective: this paper aims at numerically determining the angulation effects of stenosed renal arteries on blood flow velocity and renal mass flow. method: an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries is reconstructed from ct-scan images and...

the present study deals with the analysis of the effects of radiative heat transfer of micropolar fluid flow over a porous and stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field. the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficient have formulated by temperature-dependent relations to obtain more exact results. the flow is supposed two-dimensional, incompressible, steady and laminar and t...
