... models, well defined in vitro experiments are of great importance. The objective of this paper is to present a frequency domain analytical model based on the one-dimensional wave propagation theory and validate it against experimental data obtained for aortic analogs. The elastic and viscoelastic...

...Ritu Gupta; R. K. Wanchoo The shape of a single Newtonian liquid drop moving freely under gravity in quiescent non-Newtonian liquid (visco-inelastic and visco-elastic) has been studied. Strong effect of fluid elasticity on the shape of Newtonian liquid drop has been observed. Based on experimental...

... is a measure of polymer degradation. When α becomes sufficiently large, the elasticity tends to destabilize the flow. It is also found that boundary conditions have an important influence on the steady-state profiles and stability region, particularly for high-elasticity fluids. In this section...

When applied to the classical Griffith’s crack problem, the corresponding fluid stream function of a flow past a normal plate...

... maintains constant upstream pressure. The two-phase fluid is treated as a homogeneous mixture, and changes in fluid pressure are assumed to occur at constant entropy. Effects of pipe elasticity on wave propagation speed are included in the model by coupling the circumferential stress-strain relation...
