Propagation of a Solute Wave in a Curved Vessel
Giuseppe Pontrelli, A. Tatone · 2005
Mass transport and diffusion processes of a substance dissolved in the blood are studied. A linearization procedure over the steady state solution is carried out and an asymptotic analysis is used to study the influence of a small curvature with respect to the straight tube. Numerical results show the characteristics of the long wave propagation and the role played by the curvature on the solute
