The present paper describes the experimental implemented work on the flow situation through a branch model having a daughter tube bifurcated from a parent tube at 45 deg. Experiments have been conducted utilizing an electrochemical method. The results show that, even in steady flow, the wall shear stress along the proximal wall in the daughter tube varies significantly with position in the form of a damped sine wave. For pulsating flow at the nondimensional pulsating frequency of α = 6.6, the above mentioned tendency appears to be severe, and the distribution of its amplitude in pulsating flow is similar to that of wall shear stress in steady flow.

The distributions of mass transfer rate and wall shear stress in sinusoidal laminar pulsating flow through a two-dimensional asymmetric stenosed channel have been studied experimentally and numerically. The distributions are measured by the electrochemical method. The measurement is conducted at a Reynolds number of about 150, a Schmidt number of about 1000, a nondimensional pulsating frequency of 3.40, and a nondimensional flow amplitude of 0.3. It is suggested that the deterioration of an arterial wall distal to stenosis may be greatly enhanced by fluid dynamic effects.

Atherosclerotic lesions have a patchy distribution within arteries that suggests a controlling influence of haemodynamic stresses on their development. The distribution near aortic branches varies with age and species, perhaps reflecting differences in these stresses. Our previous work, which assumed steady flow, revealed a dependence of wall shear stress (WSS) patterns on Reynolds number and side-branch flow rate. Here, we examine effects of pulsatile flow. Flow and WSS patterns were computed by applying high-order unstructured spectral/hp element methods to the Newtonian incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a geometrically simplified model of an aorto-intercostal junction. The effect of pulsatile but non-reversing side-branch flow was small; the aortic WSS pattern resembled that obtained under steady flow conditions, with high WSS upstream and downstream of the branch. When flow in the side branch or in the aortic near-wall region reversed during part of the cycle, significantly different instantaneous patterns were generated, with low WSS appearing upstream and downstream. Time-averaged WSS was similar to the steady flow case, reflecting the short duration of these events, but patterns of the oscillatory shear index for reversing aortic near-wall flow were profoundly altered. Effects of reverse flow may help explain the different distributions of lesions.

In the present paper, the distribution of the wall shear stress around the apex of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) in the development process of aneurysm has been studied in laminar steady flow. The anterior communicating artery composing the circle of Willis is one of the predilection sites where the cerebral aneurysm occurs frequently. Once the small aneurysm initiates around the apex in one anterior cerebral artery (ACA) with high flow rate, the distribution of the wall shear stress abruptly changes around the initial aneurysm. With the development of the aneurysm, the wall shear stress distinctly changes along the concaved surface of the aneurysm. The distribution of the wall shear stress in the development process of the aneurysm is physiologically discussed from the viewpoint of hemodynamics.
