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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The electro-osmotically modulated hemodynamic across an artery with multiple stenosis is mathematically evaluated. The non-Newtonian behaviour of blood flow is tackled by utilizing Casson fluid model ...

Also called a modified Allen test, this is a simple way to measure how well blood flows in your hand. Your doctor may need to check your circulation before they operate on your wrist or a spot nearby, ...
