The geometry of carotid arteries, both normal and narrowed, produces flow characteristics that predict the location of atherosclerosis and the site of plaque rupture. A recent study has shown that the ...

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

1. PAD is characterized by stenosis, or narrowing of the peripheral arteries due to plaque buildup in atherosclerosis. Stenosis restricts oxygenated blood flow to the legs, arms, head, and stomach. It ...

Those who go with the flow assert that rough surfaces cause turbulence in fluids passing over them. The claim that, under certain conditions, the opposite is possible disturbs that cherished belief.

SAE Transactions, Vol. 97, Section 1: JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE (1988), pp. 995-1019 (25 pages) Laminar flow flight experiments conducted over the past fifty years will be reviewed. The emphasis will be on ...

Turbulence not just affects our well-being during flights; it also plays a central role in nature and in technology: it influences how pollutants spread in the atmosphere, how efficiently fuel and air ...
