Direct numerical simulation of blood flow in a stenosed, patient-specific carotid artery was conducted to explore the transient behavior of blood flow with special emphasis on the wall-shear stress distribution over the transition region. We assumed the blood as an incompressible Newtonian fluid, and the vessel was treated as a solid wall. The pulsatile boundary condition was applied at the inlet of the carotid. The Reynolds number is 884 based on the inlet diameter, and the maximum flow rate and the corresponding Womersley number is approximately 5.9. We found the transitional behavior during the acceleration and deceleration phases. In order to quantitatively examine the wall-shear stress distribution over the transition region, the probability density function of the wall-shear stress was computed. It showed that the negative wall-shear stress events frequently occur near peak systole. In addition, the oscillatory shear stress index was used to further analyze the relationship with the negative wall-shear stress appearing in the systolic phase.

The patency rates of small diameter vascular grafts are disappointing because of the formation of thrombus and intimal hyperplasia. Among the various factors influencing the success of graft surgery, the compliance and the size of a graft are believed to be the most important physical properties of a vascular graft. Mismatch of compliance and size between an artery and a graft alters anastomotic flow characteristics, which may affect the formation of intimal hyperplasia. Among the hemodynamic factors influencing the development of intimal hyperplasia, the wall shear stress is suspected as the most important one. The wall shear stress distributions are experimentally measured near the end-to-end anastomosis models in order to clarify the effects of compliance and diameter mismatch on the hemodynamics near the anastomosis. The effects of radial wall motion, diameter mismatch and impedance phase angle on the wall shear rate distributions near the anastomosis are considered. Compliance mismatch generates both different radial wall motion and instantaneous diameter mismatch between the arterial portion and the graft portion during a flow cycle. Mismatch in diameter seems to be affecting the wall shear rate distribution more significantly compared to radial wall motion. The impedance phase angle also affects the wall shear rate distribution.

In the present study, flow characteristics of turbulent oscillatory flow in an oscillator connected to square-sectional $180^{\circ}$ curved duct are investigated experimentally. In order to investigate wall shear stress and pressure distributions, the experimental studies for air flows we conducted in a square-sectional $180^{\circ}$ curved duct by using the LDV system with the data acquisitions and the processing system. The wall shear stress at bend angle of the $150^{\circ}$ and pressure distribution of the inlet (${\phi}=0^{\circ}$) to the outlet (${\phi}=180^{\circ}$) by $10^{\circ}$ intervals of the duct are measured. The results obtained from the experiment are summarized as follows : wall shear stress values in the inner wall we larger than those in an outer wall, except for the phase angle (${\omega}t/{\pi}/6$) of 3, because of the intensity of secondary flow. The pressure distributions are the largest in accelerating and decelerating regions at the bend angle(${\phi}$) of $90^{\circ}$ and pressure difference of inner and outer walls is the largest before and after the ${\phi}=90^{\circ}$.

벽면운동(wall motion)과 임피던스 페이즈앵글(impedance phase angle; 압력파와 유랑파 기아의 위상차)을 고려하여 맥동유동하에 있는 복부대동맥 분기관모델에서 2차원 전산유체해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 분기광 근처에서응 전단응력의 크기가 매우 급격한 변화를 보임을 관찰하였고 벽면운동은 전단응력의 진폭을 감소시키는 효과를 가져왔다. 임피던스 페이즈 앵글이 음의 값을 향해 갈수록 시간 평균된 벽면 전단응력(mean wall shear stress)의 값은 감소하였으나 진폭(amplitude of wall shear stress)은 오히려 증가하였다. 페이즈앵글의 영향은 평균 벽면전단응력이 영에 근접하는 외벽(outer wall or lateral wall)의 바같쪽으로 휘어지는 부분(curvature site)에서 상대적으로 크게 나타났는데 $-90^{\circ}$ 페이즈앵글(혈류파가 혈압파를 1/4주기 앞서는 경우)일 경우에 $0^{\circ}$의 경우에 비해 평균은 $50\%$정도 감소하였고 진폭은 $15\%$정도의 상승를 나타내었다. 그러므로 고혈압 환자와 같이 큰 음의 페이즈앵글을 갖는 경우, 벽면전단응력의 평균은 낮아지고 시간에 따라 변화량(진폭)은 증가하므로 low and oscillatory wall shear stress 이론에 의하면 동맥경화에 더 민감하게 된다. 비뉴턴유체로 모델링한 경우에는 뉴턴유체의 경우에 비해 벽면전단응력의 평균값이 증가하므로서 동맥경화에 덜 민감하게 된다.

The present study dictates the behavior of shear wall under a seismic event in slender high rise buildings, and studies the effect of height, location and distribution of shear wall in slender high rise building with and without boundary elements induced by the effect of an earthquake. Shear walls are located at the sides of the building, to counter the earthquake forces. This study is carried out in a 12 storeys building using SAP2000 software. The obtained results disclose that the behavior of the structure is definitely affected by the height and location of shear walls in slender high rise building. The stresses are concentrated at the limit between the shear wall region and the upper non shear wall especially for shear walls without columns. Displacements are doubled between the shear wall region and the upper non shear wall especially for shear walls without columns.

It is necessary to Investigate long-term behavior of vertical members such as column and shear wall because the long-term behavior induces the serviceability problem of reinforce-concrete structures. However, the long-term behavior on shear wall has not been fully studied. Experimental works are performed to understand the time dependent behavior of shear wall, especially the effect of loading area in this research. Three different types of cross sections are adopted, i.e., 10$\times$10 cm, 10$\times$30 cm, and 10$\times$50 cm with the same loading area of 10$\times$10 cm. The creep strains were different from point to point in the section of the shear wall specimen because of the nonlinear stress distribution. The effect of the nonlinear stress distribution was larger in the specimen with the larger width.

Wall shear rate or stress is believed to be a major hemodynamic variable influencing atherosclerosis and artery-graft anastomic intimal hyperplasia. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of radial wall motion, artery-graft compliance and diameter mismatch, and impedance phase angle on the wall shear rate distribution near an end-to-end artery-graft anastomosis model. The results show that radial wall motion of the elastic artery model lowers the mean wall shear rates under pulsatile flow condition by 15 to 20 % comparing to those under steady flow condition at the same mean flow rate. Impedance phase angle seems to have small effects on the mean and amplitude of the wall shear rate distribution. In order to study the effects of compliance and diameter mismatch on the wall shear rates, two models are studied-Model I has 6% and Model I has 6% and Model II has 11% smaller graft diameter. Divergent geometry caused by diameter mismatch near the distal sites reduces the mean wall shear rates significantly, and this low shear region is believed to be prone to intimal hyperplasia.

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the stenting shapes on flow velocity and wall shear stress in angulated coronary stenosis by computer simulation. Coronary angiogram and Doppler ultrasound measurement in the patients with angulated coronary stenosis were obtained. Inlet wave velocity distribution obtained from in vivo intracoronary Doppler data was used for the numerical simulation. Spatial pattern of blood flow velocity and recirculation area were drawn through out the selected segment of coronary models. Wall shear stresses in the intracoronary stent models were calculated from three-dimensional computer simulation. A negative shear stress region, which is consistent with re-circulation area on flow pattern, was noted on the inner wall of post-stenotic area of pre-stenting model. The negative shear stress was disappeared after stenting. Shear stress in the post-stenting model was markedly reduced up to about two orders of magnitude compared to that of the pre-stenting model.

벽면운동과 임피던스 페이즈앵글(압력파와 유량파 사이의 시간차)이 벽면전단응력의 크기와 분포에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 맥동유동하에 있는 직선 탄성혈관에서 전산유체해석을 수행하였다. 탄성을 갖는 직선혈관의 경우에는 벽면운동과 임피던스 페이즈앵글을 고려한 섭동해가 존재하는데, 이를 본 연구의 수치해와 비교함으로 수치해의 타당성을 입증하였다. 해석결과, 혈관의 벽면운동으로 인해 축방향 속도분포와 압력구배의 값에 어떤 추가분이 발생하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이러한 추가분에 의해 벽면전단응력(wall shear stress) 및 압력구배(pressure gradient)의 진폭(amplitude: time-varying component)은 감소하고 평균값(mean: time-averaged component)에도 변화를 보였는데 그 변화의 경향은 임피던스 페이즈앵글에 따라 매우 다른 모습을 보였다. 즉, 임피던스 페이즈앵글이 음의 값을 갖게 될 수록 벽면전단응력의 평균은 감소하고 진폭은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. $\pm$4%의 벽면운동이 있는 경우 대동맥에서 임피던스 페이즈앵글의 변화 가능범위인 0$^{\circ}$에서 -90$^{\circ}$로 페이즈 앵글을 감소시켰을 때 벽면전단응력의 평균값은 10.5% 감소하고 진폭은 17.5% 증가하였다. 그러므로 고혈압환자와 같이 음의 큰 페이즈앵글을 갖는 경우 벽면 전단응력의 시간에 따른 변화량(진폭/평균)이 상대적으로 커지므로 low and oscillatory shear stress 이론에 의하면 동맥경화에 더 민감하게 된다.
