The theory of small-amplitude waves propagating across a blood vessel junction has been well established with linear analysis. In this study we consider the propagation of large-amplitude, nonlinear waves (i.e. shocks and rarefactions)…
The interaction of a shock wave with a localized constriction in a straight conduit is investigated by systematically varying the blockage ratio in the range 0.35-0.75, the normalized constriction length in the range 0.25-2, and the…
This paper describes continuously phase-modulated standing surface acoustic waves (CPM-SSAW) and its application for particle separation in multiple pressure nodes. A linear change of phase in CPM-SSAW applies a force to particles whose…
Cortical spreading depression and spreading depolarization (CSD) are waves of neuronal depolarization that spread across the cortex, leading to a temporary saturation of brain activity. They are associated to various brain disorders such as…
