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 ${\phi}=90^{\circ}$.

In order to measure wall shear stress and pressure distributions, experimental studies for air flow are conducted in a square-sectional $180^{\circ}$ curved duct by using the LDV system with the data acquisition and the processing system. The wall shear stress measuring point bend angle of the $150^{\circ}$ and pressure distribution of the inlet (${\phi}=0^{\circ}$) to the outlet (${\phi}=180^{\circ}$) at $10^{\circ}$ intervals of the duct. The results obtained from the experimentation are summarized as follows: A wall shear stress value in an inner wall is larger than that in an outer wall, except for the phase angle (${\omega}t/{\pi}/6$) of 3, because of the intensity of secondary flow.

In the present study, the pressure distribution, wall shear stress distribution and friction factor of developing turbulent pulsating flows are investigated theoretically and experimentally in the entrance region of a square duct. The pressure distribution for turbulent pulsating flows are in good agreement with the theoretical values. The time-averaged pressure gradients of the turbulent pulsating flows show the same tendency as those of turbulent steady flows as the time-averged Reynolds number $(Re_{ta})$ increase. Mean shear stresses in the turbulent pulsating flow increase more in the inlet flow region than in the fully developed flow region and approach to almost constant value in the fully developed flow region. In the turbulent pulsating flow, the friction factor of the quasi-steady state flow $({\lambda}_{q, tu})$ follow friction factor's law in turbulent steady flow. The entrance length of the turbulent pulsating flow is not influenced by the time-averaged Reynolds number $(Re_{ta})$ and it is about 40 times as large as the hydraulic diameter.

The periodicity of the physiological flow has been the major interest of analytic research in this field up to now Among the mechanical forces stimulating the biochemical reaction of endothelial cells on the wall, the wall shear stresses show the strongest effect to the biochemical product. The objective of present study is to find the effects of velocity waveform on the wall shear stresses and pressure distribution along the artery and to present some correlation of the velocity waveform with the clinical observations. In order to investigate the complex flow phenomena in the bifurcated tube, constitutive equations, which are suitable to describe the rheological properties of the non-Newtonian fluids, are determined, and pulsatile momemtum equations are solved by the finite volume prediction. The results show that pressure and wall shear stresses are related to the velocity waveform of the physiological flow and the blood viscosity. And the variational tendency of the wall shear stresses along the flow direction is very similar to the applied sinusoidal and physiological velocity waveforms, but the stress values are quite different depending on the local region. Under the sinusoidal velocity waveform, a Newtonian fluid and blood show big differences in velocity. pressure, and wall shear stress as a function of time, but the differences under the physiological velocity waveform are negligibly small.

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.

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.

Steady and physiological flows of a Newtonian fluid and blood in the abdominal gorta/iliac artery bifurcation are numerically simulated to understand the etiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Distributions of velocity, pressure, and wall shear stress in the bifurcated arterial vessel model are calculated to investigate the differences of flow characteristics between steady and physiological flows and to compare flow characteristics of blood with that of a Newtonian fluid For the given Reynolds number the flow characteristics of physiological flows for a Newtonian fluid and blood in the bifurcated arterial vessel are quite different from thcse of steady flows. No flow separation or flow reversal in the bifurcated region appears downstream of a stenosis during the acceleration phase. However, during the deceleration phase the flow exhibits flow separation in the outer walls of daugtlter branches, which extends to the entire wall region.

Direct injection of a fibrinolytic agent to the intraarterial thrombosis may increase the effectiveness of thrombolysis by enhancing the permeation of thrombolytic agents into the blood clot. Permeation of fibrinolytic agents into a clot is influenced by the surface pressure, which is determined by the injection velocity of fibrinolytic agents. In order to calculate the pressure distribution on the clot surface for different jet velocities (1, 3, 5 m/sec) and nozzle arrangements (1, 9, 17 nozzles), computational fluid dynamic methods were used. Thrombolysis of a clot was mathematically modeled based on the pressure and lysis front velocity relationship. Direct injection of a thrombolytic agent increased the speed of thrombolysis significantly and the effectiveness was increased as the ejecting velocity increased. The nine nozzles model showed about $20\%$ increase of the lysed volume, and the one and seventeen nozzles models did not show significant differences. The wall shear stress decreased as the number of nozzles increased, and the wall shear stress in most vessel wall was lower than 25 Pa. The results implied that thrombolysis could be accelerated by direct injection of a drug with the moderate velocity without damaging the blood vessel wall.

Steady and physiological flows of a Newtonian fluid and blood in the bifurcated arterial vessel are numerically simulated. Distributions of velocity, pressure and wall shear stress in the bifurcated arterial vessel are calculated to investigate the differences between steady and physiological flows. For the given Reynolds number physiological flow characteristics of a Newtonian fluid and blood in the bifurcated arterial vessel are quite different from those of steady flows. No flow separation or flow reversal in the bifurcated region in the downstream after stenosis appears during the acceleration phase. Also, no recirculation region is seen for steady flows. However, during the deceleration phase the flow began to exhibit flow reversal, which is eventually extended to the entire wall region.

A two-dimensional Stokes flow past a circular disk in a circular tube is analyzed. The circular disk is located coaxially with the circular tube and the Hagen-Poiseuille flow exists at upstream and downstream far from the circular disk. The Stokes approximation is used and the flow is investigated analytically by using the method of eigenfunction expansion and the method of least square. From the analysis, the stream function and the pressure of the flow field are obtained, and the streamlines and pressure distribution are shown. Also, the pressure and shear stress distributions on the circular disk and circular tube wall are calculated, and shown for some typical radii of the circular disk. The additional pressure drop induced by the disk and the drag force exerted on the disk are compared as functions of the radius of the circular disk, and it is shown that the shear force on the wall of the tube increases due to the disk.
