Spectrum Analysis of Turbulence in the Aorta

  • Chapter
Biomechanics: Principles and Applications

Part of the book series: Developments in Biomechanics ((DEBI,volume 1))

Abstract

Turbulence in the large arteries of the cardiovascular system is of interest because it has been suggested that it is the cause of several disorders and physiological phenomena (1). We have previously reported the results of canine experiments in which turbulence in the ascending aorta was measured and analysed (2).
