Kinematic and Dynamic Characteristics of Pulsating Flow in 180�Tube

Abstract

Pulsating flow in a human aortic arch is studied from its kinematic and dynamic characteristics of transient tubular boundary layer. The results can only be obtained by a 3D fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis for the rapidly accelerated and decelerated systolic flow. The flow is based on a prescribed inlet velocity, VO(t), which can be expressed as the
