Flow induced pressure fluctuation in a model of a contorted carotid artery
An experimental investigation into the link between the flow induced pressure fluctuations and atherosclerosis is reported in this thesis. A model of a C-shape tortuous channel was used to simulate a contorted cervical portion of the human internal carotid artery (ICA) and air was used as the flow m...
