Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) has become widespread in fluid
dynamics. Essentially a velocity field movie, the dynamic content provides temporal as well …

A review is presented of measurement techniques to characterise dispersed multiphase
flows, which are not accessible by means of conventional optical techniques. The main …

Ultrafast Doppler has been accepted as a novel modality for small vasculature imaging with
high sensitivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, and high penetration. However, the …

Globally, high death rates due to heart failure are an essential topic in medical research.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of cardiac dysfunction and collapse, with high …

The importance of experimental setups able to reproduce cardiac functions was well
established in the field of clinical innovations. The mock circulatory loops acquired rising …

Abstract Introduction Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) are mechanical representations of the
cardiovascular system largely used to test the hemodynamic performance of cardiovascular …

Cardiac function and vascular function are closely related to the flow of blood within. The
flow velocities in these larger cavities easily reach 1 m/s, and generally complex …

Background Local blood flow affects vascular disease and outcomes of endovascular
treatment, but quantifying it is challenging, especially inside stents. We assessed the …

We present a new numerical simulation framework for prediction of flow patterns in the
human left ventricle model. In this study, a radial basis function (RBF) mesh morphing …

In atherosclerosis, low wall shear stress (WSS) is known to favor plaque development, while
high WSS increases plaque rupture risk. To improve plaque diagnostics, WSS monitoring is …
