▪ Abstract Almost all vessels carrying fluids within the body are flexible, and interactions
between an internal flow and wall deformation often underlie a vessel's biological function or …

The self-excited oscillation of airway structures and flexible tubes in response to flow is
reviewed. The structures range from tiny airways deep in the lung causing wheezing at the …

High-Reynolds-number asymptotics and numerical simulations are used to describe two-
dimensional, unsteady, pressure-driven flow in a finite-length channel, one wall of which …

Many fluid-conveying vessels in the human body are highly elastic and deform substantially
in response to the traction (press ure and viscous stress) that the fluid exerts on them. The …

Three-dimensional collapse of and steady flow through finite-length elastic tubes are studied
numerically. The Navier-Stokes equations coupled with large, nonlinear deformation of the …

A fully coupled finite-element method is used to investigate the steady flow of a viscous fluid
through a thin-walled elastic tube mounted between two rigid tubes. The steady three …

Experiments were mounted to investigate the onset in a 'Starling resistor'of collapsible-tube
oscillation, at the lowest possible Reynolds number so as to facilitate matched numerical …

The non-linear dynamics of an extremely thin-walled collapsible tube with internal flow
subjected to a time-varying external pressure are studied experimentally and theoretically …

This paper studies the unsteady behaviour and linear stability of the flow in a collapsible
channel using a fluid–beam model. The solid mechanics is analysed in a plane strain …

Rotor imbalances of a wind turbine can cause severe damage of the turbine or its
components and thus reduce the lifespan and security of the turbine significantly. At present …
