The problems of incompressible flows dominate a large part of the fluid mechanics scene. For this reason, they are given special attention in this book and we devote two chapters to this subject. In the present chapter we deal with various steadystate and transient situations in which the flow is forced by appropriate pressure gradients and boundary forces. In the next chapter we shall consider...

The present study attempted deriving and solving the falling- cylinder governing equations for power law model non-Newtonian fluids. Based on this theoretical study, a novel falling- cylinder rheometer (FCR) was designed and constructed to measure the Theological properties of non-Newtonian fluids. Different falling cylinders with predesigned densities were used to determine the apparent viscos...

the high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. however, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. the objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...

INTRODUCTION This paper represents the numerical simulation of blood flow in the circle of Willis (CoW). Circle of Willis is responsible for the oxygenated blood distribution into the cerebral mass. To investigate the blood behavior, two Newtonian and non-Newtonian viscosity models were considered and the results were compared under steady state conditions. METHODS Methodologically, the arter...
