Wall Shear

The flow characteristics in the vicinity of a set of half-cylinders of different sizes simulating benthic objects were studied experimentally using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The cylinders were mounted on the bottom of an open channel, and the influence of the flow speed on the distribution of the shear stress along the bottom geometry was investigated. Of special interest was how the shear stress changes close to the wall as a function of the flow speed and cylinder arrangement. It was found that the shear stress varies significantly as a function of position. This implies habitat heterogeneity allowing benthic invertebrates with different shear stress tolerance exists when the bottom consists of differently sized stones. It was also shown that direct measurements of near wall velocity gradients are necessary to accurately calculate the wall shear stress for more complex geometries.

Wall Shear

A micro-floating element wall shear stress sensor with backside connections has been developed for accurate measurements of wall shear stress under the turbulent boundary layer. The micro-sensor was designed and fabricated on a 10.16 cm SOI (Silicon on Insulator) wafer by MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) processing technology. Then, it was calibrated by a wind tunnel setup over a range of 0 Pa to 65 Pa. The measurements of wall shear stress on a smooth plate were carried out in a 0.6 m × 0.6 m transonic wind tunnel. Flow speed ranges from 0.4 Ma to 0.8 Ma, with a corresponding Reynold number of 1.05 × 106~1.55 × 106 at the micro-sensor location. Wall shear stress measured by the micro-sensor has a range of about 34 Pa to 93 Pa, which is consistent with theoretical values. For comparisons, a Preston tube was also used to measure wall shear stress at the same time. The results show that wall shear stress obtained by three methods (the micro-sensor, a Preston tube, and theoretical results) are well agreed with each other.

Suspension Model

Catheterization has an imperative rule in heat transfer investigations, which are frequently applied to analyze and deal with the heart transfer studies. Here, the entering of a catheter adjusts the flow of the blood and it affects the hemodynamic status in the artery region. In practical clinical cases, catheters cannot be precisely concentric with the artery. The impartial of this work is to investigate the behavior of a blood streaming characteristics, in the case of injecting the catheter eccentrically all the way through a stenotic overlapping artery. In this paper, we consider the heat transfer within the presence of blood corpuscle which has been characterized by a macroscopic two-phase model (i.e. a suspension of erythrocytes in plasma). The model here considers the blood fluid as a liquid fluid with adjourned particles in the gap bounded by the eccentric cylinder. The inside cylinder is identically rigid demonstrating the movable thin catheter and kept at constant temperature, where the outer cylinder is a taper cylinder demonstrating the artery that has overlapping stenosis and it is cooled and maintained at zero temperature. The coupled differential equations for both fluid (plasma) and particle (erythrocyte) phases have been solved. The expressions for the flow characteristics, namely, the flow rate, the impedance (resistance to flow), the wall shear stress and the temperature distribution, have been derived. The model is very useful in medicine, where the hemodynamic speed is higher for eccentric case than that of concentric one. Also, the temperature distribution and the entropy generation in the state of eccentric position are higher than in the case of the concentric position. A significant increase in the magnitude of the impedance and the wall shear stress occurs for an increase in the hematocrit, C for diseased blood.

The effects of an overlapping stenosis on blood flow characteristics in an artery have been studied. Blood has been represented by a couple stress fluid. The flow equations have been linearised and the expressions for pressure drop, resistance to the flow and wall shear stress have been derived. The results are shown graphically. It is observed that the resistance to the flow, pressure drop and wall shear stress increases with height and length of the stenosis. And it is noticed that the resistance to the flow and pressure drop decreases with couple stress fluid parameters. But wall shear stress increases with couple stress fluid parameters.

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.
