    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.

    Non-linear waves in a fluid-filled inhomogeneous elastic tube with variable radius
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Scıence Ltd, 2008-05) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by employing the non-linear equations of motion of an incompressible, inhomogeneous, isotropic and prestressed thin elastic tube with variable radius and the approximate equations of an inviscid fluid, which is assumed to be a model for blood, we studied the propagation of non-linear waves in such a medium, in the longwave approximation. Utilizing the reductive perturbation method we obtained the variable coefficient Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation as the evolution equation. By seeking a progressive wave type of solution to this evolution equation, we observed that the wave speed decreases for increasing radius and shear modulus, while it increases for decreasing inner radius and the shear modulus.

    Modulation of non-linear waves in a viscous fluid contained in an elastic tube
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-06) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, utilizing the non-linear equations of a prestressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible viscous fluid the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a medium is studied. Considering that the arteries are initially subjected to a large static transmural pressure P-0 and an axial stretch lambda (z) and, in the course of blood how, a finite-time-dependent displacement is added to this initial field, the non-linear equations governing the motion of the tube in the radial direction is obtained. Utilizing the reductive perturbation technique the amplitude modulation of weakly non-linear and dissipative but strongly dispersive waves is examined and the dissipative non-linear Schrodinger equation is obtained. Finally, the numerical solution of the evolution equation under the given initial condition is given and the stability condition of the solution is discussed.
