However, the laminar whirlpool flow in larger arteries serves to sweep away platelets, promote blood mixing, and ensure uniform mean shear stress along the arterial wall.

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In ...

Turbulences on the rise Rise of a fully turbulent flow explained Date: October 22, 2015 Source: Institute of Science and Technology Austria Summary: Turbulence not just affects our well-being ...

Laminar flow is lost in low-order drainage vessels where erythrocytes aggregate, but quickly recovers, new striae being added to the blood column at each confluence.

The electro-osmotically modulated hemodynamic across an artery with multiple stenosis is mathematically evaluated. The non-Newtonian behaviour of blood flow is tackled by utilizing Casson fluid model ...

Furthermore, laminar flow in the portal vein plays a role because metastases from the gastrointestinal tract spread to the liver via the superior mesenteric vein, which preferentially flows into ...

WE have recently studied 2 patients with symptoms of cerebral ischemia in whom a reversal of blood flow through the left vertebral artery was demonstrated. In both cases the anatomic lesion produci ...
