Oscillatory flows of viscoelastic fluids are studied from the perspective of Stokes viscoelastic layers. We identify the governing dimensionless variables, and study the flows in a general way for fluids with linear rheology. Nonlinearities can be treated perturbatively to account for reported flow instabilities. This article is part of the theme issue 'Stokes at 200 (Part 1)'.

A New Design for Aortic Arch Surgery: Ex Vivo Implantation and Computerized Flow Evaluation of the ISLAND Graft.
Innovations (Phila)
December 2024
Department of Neurosciences and Rehabilitation, Cardiac Surgery Unit, University of Ferrara, Italy.
Objective: Both the en bloc island technique and the branched graft technique (BGT) present advantages but also limitations in aortic arch surgery. Here is the first presentation of an innovative prosthesis for aortic arch replacement, conceived to overcome the disadvantages of both techniques.
Methods: The novel ISLAND graft is a tubular Dacron or hybrid prosthesis with an additional extended Dacron graft ("bubble") on the superior aspect, for en bloc island graft anastomosis.
Impact of Vein Wall Hyperelasticity and Blood Flow Turbulence on Hemodynamic Parameters in the Inferior Vena Cava with a Filter.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are vital in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) by trapping large blood clots, especially in patients unsuitable for anticoagulation. In this study, the accuracy of two common simplifying assumptions in numerical studies of IVC filters-the rigid wall assumption and the laminar flow model-is examined, contrasting them with more realistic hyperelastic wall and turbulent flow models. Using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, the investigation focuses on three hemodynamic parameters: time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and relative residence time (RRT).

Objective: The complex mix of factors, including hemodynamic forces and wall remodeling mechanisms, that drive intracranial aneurysm growth is unclear. This study focuses on the specific regions within aneurysm walls where growth occurs and their relationship to the prevalent hemodynamic conditions to reveal critical mechanisms leading to enlargement.
Methods: The authors examined hemodynamic models of 67 longitudinally followed aneurysms, identifying 88 growth regions.
Wave ripples formed in ancient, ice-free lakes in Gale crater, Mars.

Symmetrical wave ripples identified with NASA's Curiosity rover in ancient lake deposits at Gale crater provide a key paleoclimate constraint for early Mars: At the time of ripple formation, climate conditions must have supported ice-free liquid water on the surface of Mars. These features are the most definitive examples of wave ripples on another planet. The ripples occur in two stratigraphic intervals within the orbitally defined Layered Sulfate Unit: a thin but laterally extensive unit at the base of the Amapari member of the Mirador formation, and a sandstone lens within the Contigo member of the Mirador formation.

Article Synopsis
- Polymers are being studied as eco-friendly alternatives to fluorinated foam extinguishing agents, focusing on how they affect the performance of non-fluorinated foams.
- The research examines the impact of xanthan gum, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and gelatin on various properties such as viscosity, conductivity, and foam stability of a specific siloxane-based mixture.
- Results indicate that while the polymers increased viscosity and conductivity, they also decreased foamability, with gelatin enhancing surface activity and contributing to prolonged drainage times and film stability.
