Experimental assessment of theory on the convective dispersion of blood gases by vortices in a curved channel exchanger has demonstrated the impracticality of the proposed design. A nonlinear stability analysis of the fluid dynamics provided an amplitude factor an order of magnitude less than that previously assumed for the system secondary circulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
