| Abstract | In order to investigate the mechanical factors that lead to rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), velocity profiles and wall shear stresses are presented for pulsatile flow through a series of AAA models. Seven rigid models were constructed with uniform lengths of 4 d and diameters that ranged from 1.5 to 3.2 d, where d is the inner diameter of the undilated entrance tube. Pulsatile flow simulating resting in vivo aortic conditions, with Womersley number 11 and mean and peak Reynolds numbers of 360 and 2000 respectively, was delivered through the models. Flow fields were interrogated by laser-Doppler velocimetry, and wall shear stresses were derived from these measurements. During systole, the flow was unidirectional and nearly irrotational, with peak wall shear stresses at the distal bulge constriction. As the flow decelerated towards zero, a recirculating vortex developed in the proximal half of the bulge. During reversal, this vortex expanded both distally and radially, eventually developing into a retrogradely directed jet along the bulge wall that isolated a forward recirculation region in the core. During diastole, all velocities decayed towards a small forward value. However, in the larger models, a recirculation vortex remained in the distal half of the bulge, with a small outer secondary vortex. Regions of unstable flow were increasingly evident in the distal bulge of the larger models. Pressure was constant along the models, but maximum shear stresses reached levels extrapolating to greater than 80 dynes/cm/sup 2/ in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
