As two important parameters, the velocity of disturbance wave and the wall shear stress in annular flow are very important to solve the closed equations of the mechanical model for annular flow. In this study, the disturbance wave velocity and wall shear stress of annular flow in a vertical narrow rectangular channel with a cross section of 70 mm × 2 mm were studied. According to the experimental results, it is found that the wave velocity and wall shear stress of disturbance wave increase with increasing gas phase velocity and liquid phase velocity. Also, existing correlations for predicting the velocity of disturbance wave were summarized and evaluated using the current experimental data. A new correlation for wall shear stress based on the disturbance wave velocity has been proposed. Compared with the existing correlation for predicting wall shear stress, this new correlation can well predict the current experimental data and MAPE is only 7.32%.

An experimental and numerical investigation has been performed in order to study the appearance of hydrodynamic instabilities at low bulk axial Reynolds number in the gap between two coaxial cylinders with a diameter ratio of 0.52, 0.8 and 0.9, whose outer cylinder is stationary and the inner one is rotating. Skin friction coefficient and wall shear stress have been measured for fully developed laminar flows of water when the inner cylinder rotates at the speed of 0~600 rpm. The axial component of velocity is directly affected by the radial/tangential velocity field and rotation of the inner cylinder is found to have a strong influence on the axial velocity distribution, ultimately leading to two maximum in the case of high eccentred inner cylinder at high rotational speeds.

The accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is recognized as one of the main contributors in atherogenesis. Mathematical models have been constructed to simulate mass transport in large arteries and the consequent lipid accumulation in the arterial wall. The objective of this study was to investigate the influences of wall shear stress and transmural pressure on LDL accumulation in the arterial wall by a multilayered, coupled lumen-wall model. The model employs the Navier-Stokes equations and Darcy's Law for fluid dynamics, convection-diffusion-reaction equations for mass balance, and Kedem-Katchalsky equations for interfacial coupling. To determine physiologically realistic model parameters, an optimization approach that searches optimal parameters based on experimental data was developed. Two sets of model parameters corresponding to different transmural pressures were found by the optimization approach using experimental data in the literature. Furthermore, a shear-dependent hydraulic conductivity relation reported previously was adopted. The integrated multilayered model was applied to an axisymmetric stenosis simulating an idealized, mildly stenosed coronary artery. The results show that low wall shear stress leads to focal LDL accumulation by weakening the convective clearance effect of transmural flow, whereas high transmural pressure, associated with hypertension, leads to global elevation of LDL concentration in the arterial wall by facilitating the passage of LDL through wall layers.
