Forced and unforced flow through compliant tubes

Resonances in pulsatile channel flow with an elastic wall

“…By contrast, studies of pulsatile flows through elastic tubes and channels (see e.g. [9,[14][15][16][17]) are comparatively scarce despite the pulsatile nature of blood flows. A notable exception is Amabili et al's recent study [18] in which part of an excised human aorta was mounted between two rigid pipes and subjected to physiological pulsatile pressure and flow rates.…”
