Wall Shear

The distributions of mass transfer rate and wall shear stress in sinusoidal laminar pulsating flow through a two-dimensional asymmetric stenosed channel have been studied experimentally and numerically. The distributions are measured by the electrochemical method. The measurement is conducted at a Reynolds number of about 150, a Schmidt number of about 1000, a nondimensional pulsating frequency of 3.40, and a nondimensional flow amplitude of 0.3. It is suggested that the deterioration of an arterial wall distal to stenosis may be greatly enhanced by fluid dynamic effects.

Hyperemic Flow

The present study focuses on developing basal to near hyperemic flow through the entrance region of a deployed stent in a coronary artery segment. Stents that are presently available in market differ significantly in design. Hence, there is a need to optimize its design such that the magnitude of wall shear stress is within physiologic limit, thus minimizing the patho-physiological effects. For near hyperemic flow, the analysis showed a 20 fold increase in the positive values of wall shear stress at the stent wires exposed to the blood flow. Further, at the void next to the entrance, the wall shear stress was an order of magnitude lower than the values typically observed in similar downstream regions.

Pressure Driven

Unique, simultaneous direct measurements of the magnitude and direction of the local wall shear stress in a pressure-driven three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer are presented. The flow is also described with an oil streak wall flow pattern, a map of the wall shear stress-wall pressure gradient orientations, a comparison of the wall shear stress directions relative to the directions of the nearest wall velocity as measured with a typical, small boundary layer directionally sensitive claw probe, as well as limiting wall streamline directions from the oil streak patterns, and a comparison of the freestream streamlines and the wall flow streamlines. A review of corrections for direct force sensing shear meters for two-dimensional flows is presented with a brief discussion of their applicability to three-dimensional devices.

Near Wall

Expressions for the logarithmic portion of the law of the wall are derived for the axial and tangential velocity components of swirling flow in annular ducts. These expressions involve new shear-velocity scales and curvature terms. They are shown to agree well with experiment over a substantial portion of the flow near both walls of an annulus. The resultant velocity data also agree with the law of the wall. The success of the proposed logarithmic expressions implies that the mixing-length model used in deriving them correctly describes flow-velocity behavior. This model indicates that the velocity gradient at any height y in the near-wall region is determined by the wall shear stress, not by the local shear stress. This suggests that the influence of wall shear stress is dominant and that it determines the near-wall wall flow even in flows with curvature and pressure gradient. A physical explanation is suggested for this.

Wall Shear

This article illustrates numerical results on pulsating blood flow through moderately stenosed blood vessel. Two kinds of waveform, that is, a purely sinusoidal waveform and a non-sinusoidal one just like human blood flow are calculated for two cases of heart rate as 60 and 160 (1/s), and resultant flow behavior such as flow velocities, secondary flow, wall shear stress and pressure change are discussed. The abrupt changes in the pressure and wall shear stress occur on the throat of the stenosis, suggesting that this part is easily damaged by the effects when the heart rate is increased.

Calcium Carbonate Scale

This paper presents an analytical model and experimental study of adhesion and fluid shear removal of calcium carbonate scale on polypropylene and copper tubes in laminar and turbulent water flows, with a view toward understanding how scale can be controlled in solar absorbers and heat exchangers. The tubes are first coated with scale and then inserted in a flow through apparatus. Removal is measured gravimetrically for Reynolds numbers from 525 to 5550, corresponding to wall shear stresses from 0.16 to 6.0 Pa. The evolutionary structure of the scale is visualized with scanning electron microscopy. Consistent with the predictive model, calcium carbonate is more easily removed from polypropylene than copper. In a laminar flow with a wall shear stress of 0.16 Pa, 65% of the scale is removed from polypropylene while only 10% is removed from copper. Appreciable removal of scale from copper requires higher shear stresses. At Reynolds number of 5500, corresponding to a wall shear stress of 6.0 Pa, 30% of the scale is removed from the copper tubes. The results indicate scale will be more easily removed from polypropylene, and by inference other polymeric materials, than copper by flushing with water.

Wall Shear

In this paper, a mathematical model for steady blood flow through blood vessels with uniform cross-section in stenoses arteries has been proposed. Blood is assumed to be non-Newtonian, incompressible and homogeneous fluid. Blood in human artery is represented as Bingham plastic fluid. Expressions for flow rate, wall shear stress, and resistance to flow against stenoses size have been obtained. Obtained results indicate that stenoses size decreases the flow rate and increases the wall shear stress as well as resistance to flow.
