    Waves in an elastic tube filled with a heterogeneous fluid of variable viscosity
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-07) Demiray, Hilmi
    By treating the artery as a prestressed thin elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible heterogeneous fluid with variable viscosity. we studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a composite medium through the use of reductive perturbation method. By assuming a variable density and a variable viscosity for blood in the radial direction we obtained the perturbed Korteweg-deVries equation as the evolution equation when the viscosity is of order of epsilon(3/2). We observed that the perturbed character is the combined result of the viscosity and the heterogeneity of the blood. A progressive wave type of solution is presented for the evolution equation and the result is discussed. The numerical results indicate that for a certain value of the density parameter sigma, the wave equation loses its dispersive character and the evolution equation degenerates. It is further shown that, for the perturbed KdV equation both the amplitude and the wave speed decay in the time parameter tau.

    The boundary layer approximation and nonlinear waves in elastic tubes
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2000-09) Antar, Nalan; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, employing the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, isotropic and elastic thin tube and approximate equations of an incompressible viscous fluid, the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves is examined. In order to include the geometrical and structural dispersion into analysis, the wall's inertial and shear deformation are taken into account in determining the inner pressure-inner cross sectional area relation. Using the reductive perturbation technique, the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves, in the long-wave approximation, are shown to be governed by the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB), depending on the balance between the nonlinearity, dispersion and/or dissipation. In the case of small viscosity (or large Reynolds number), the behaviour of viscous fluid is quite close to that ideal fluid and viscous effects are confined to a very thin layer near the boundary. In this case, using the boundary layer approximation we obtain the viscous-Korteweg-de Vries and viscous-Burgers equations.

    Weakly nonlinear waves in a fluid with variable viscosity contained in a prestressed thin elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-04) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, treating the artery as a prestressed thin elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity which vanishes on the boundary of the tube, the propagation of nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube is studied, in the longwave approximation, through the use of reductive perturbation method and the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation. A progressive wave type of solution is presented for this evolution equation and the result is discussed.

    Head-on-collision of nonlinear waves in a fluid of variable viscosity contained in an elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-08-30) Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, treating the arteries as a thin walled, prestressed elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible viscous fluid of variable viscosity, we have studied the interactions of two nonlinear waves, in the long wave approximation, through the use of extended PLK perturbation method, and the evolution equations are shown to be the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation. The results show that, Up to O(is an element of(3/2)), the head-on-collision of two nonlinear progressive waves is elastic and the nonlinear progressive waves preserve their original properties after the collision. The phase functions for each wave are derived explicitly and it is shown that they are not straight lines anymore, they are rather some curves.

    Forced Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation in an elastic tube filled with a variable viscosity fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-11) Gaik, Tay Kim; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the arteries as a prestressed thin walled elastic tube with a stenosis and the blood as a Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a composite medium, in the long wave approximation, by use of the reductive perturbation method [Jeffrey A, Kawahara T. Asymptotic methods in nonlinear wave theory. Boston: Pitman; 1981]. We obtained the forced Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (FKdVB) equation with variable coefficients as the evolution equation. By use of the coordinate transformation, it is shown that this type of evolution equation admits a progressive wave solution with variable wave speed. As might be expected from physical consideration, the wave speed reaches its maximum value at the center of stenosis and gets smaller and smaller as we go away from the center of the stenosis. The variations of radial displacement and the fluid pressure with the distance parameter are also examined numerically. The results seem to be consistent with physical intuition.

    Nonlinear waves in an elastic tube with variable prestretch filled with a fluid of variable viscosity
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-10) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by employing the reductive perturbation method to the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, prestressed, homogeneous and isotropic thin elastic tube and to the exact equations of an incompressible Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity, we have studied weakly nonlinear waves in such a medium and obtained the variable coefficient Korteweg-deVries-Burgers (KdV-B) equation as the evolution equation. For this purpose, we treated the artery as an incompressible, homogeneous and isotropic elastic material subjected to variable stretches both in the axial and circumferential directions initially, and the blood as an incompressible Newtonian fluid whose viscosity changes with the radial coordinate. By seeking a travelling wave solution to this evolution equation, we observed that the wave front is not a plane anymore, it is rather a curved surface. This is the result of the variable radius of the tube. The numerical calculations indicate that the wave speed is variable in the axial coordinate and it decreases for increasing circumferential stretch (or radius). Such a result seems to be plausible from physical considerations, like Bernoulli's law. We further observed that, the amplitude of the Burgers shock gets smaller and smaller with increasing time parameter along the tube axis. This is again due to the variable radius, but the effect of it is quite small.

    The effect of a bump on wave propagation in a fluid-filled elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2004-01) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the arteries as a thin walled prestressed elastic tube with variable cross-section, and using the longwave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible viscous fluid the evolution equation is obtained as the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation with variable coefficients. It is shown that this type of equations admit a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, the wave speed gets smaller and smaller as we go away from the center of the bump. The wave speed reaches to its maximum value at the center of the bump.
