The transitional regime of pulsatile pipe flow
ar diseases. In this seminar, we consider the ‘simplified’ case of the flow in a smooth, rigid and cylindrical pipe, as a model of cardiovascular flows. We will explore how such flows transition to turbulence [...] unpredictable and chaotic fluid motion, that is linked with increased friction and energy losses. It has a huge impact in our day-to-day life, from the prediction of next weeks weather, to your last bumpy flight [...] turbulence and how turbulence behaves once triggered. First, we will consider the case of a steady driven flow, and then, the case of pulsatile flow, where the bulk velocity oscillates with time. This last
