Regulation of Adenine Nucleotide Concentration at Endothelium-Fluid Interface by Viscous Shear Flow
(Biophysical Society, 1993)The action of adenine nucleotides on vascular endothelial cells is apparently mediated by the local flow conditions. Because nucleotides are sequentially degraded from ATP - ADP - AMP -- adenosine by ecto-enzymes at the ... -
Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion
(Cambridge University Press, 2003)Direct numerical simulation is used to study the turbulent flow over a smooth wavy wall undergoing transverse motion in the form of a streamwise travelling wave. The Reynolds number based on the mean velocity U of the ... -
Three-dimensional flow structures and vorticity control in fish-like swimming
(Cambridge University Press, 2002)We employ a three-dimensional, nonlinear inviscid numerical method, in conjunction with experimental data from live fish and from a fish-like robotic mechanism, to establish the three-dimensional features of the flow ...
