In Vitro Experimental Investigation Into the Effect of Compliance on Models of Arterial Hemodynamics

Compliant (flexible) structures play an important role in several biofluid problems including flow in the lungs, heart and arteries. Atherosclerosis is a vascular disease which causes a remodelling of the arterial wall causing a restriction (stenosis) by thickening the intima and the formation of v...
