Experimental techniques based on optical measurement principles have experienced
significant growth in recent decades. They are able to provide detailed information with high …

Background Carotid webs (CaWs) are fibromuscular projections in the internal carotid artery
(ICA) that cause mild luminal narrowing (< 50%), but may be causative in up to one‐third of …

A method for the construction of both rigid and compliant (flexible) transparent flow
phantoms of biological flow structures, suitable for PIV and other optical flow methods with …

In medical terms, fenestration stands for an anomaly within the circulatory system in which
the blood vessel lumen is divided into two separate channels that rejoin in the distal part of …

The in-cylinder flow field plays a key role in determining the combustion performance of
internal combustion engines (ICEs) and it is critically important to validate numerical …

Abstract Background The Circle of Willis (CoW) is an important collateral pathway of the
cerebral blood flow. An experimental study of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) distribution in …

Compliant (flexible) structures play an important role in several biological flows including the
lungs, heart and arteries. Coronary heart disease is caused by a constriction in the artery …

Certain systems relevant to circulatory disease have walls which are neither rigid nor static,
for example, the coronary arteries, the carotid artery and the heart chambers. In vitro …

Widely accepted treatment for carotid artery stenosis includes stenting as well as carotid
endoarterectomy (CEA), despite complications associated with distal embolism. Therefore …

Gravity is usually neglected in the dynamic modeling and analysis of the transmission
system, especially in some relatively lightweight equipment. The weight of wind turbine …
