Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome
Giorgio Querzoli, Stefania Fortini, Stefania Espa +2
Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilati…
Three-dimensional structure of the flow inside the left ventricle of the human heart
S. Fortini, G. Querzoli, S. Espa +1
The laboratory models of the human heart left ventricle developed in the last decades gave a valuable contribution to the comprehension of the role of the fluid dynamics in the car…
Experimental study of two-dimensional enstrophy cascade
G. Boffetta, A. Cenedese, S. Espa +1
We study the direct enstrophy cascade in a two-dimensional flow generated in an electromagnetically driven thin layer of fluid. Due to the presence of bottom friction, the energy s…
Experimental evidence of chaotic advection in a convective flow
G. Boffetta, M. Cencini, S. Espa +1
Lagrangian chaos is experimentally investigated in a convective flow by means of Particle Tracking Velocimetry. The Fnite Size Lyapunov Exponent analysis is applied to quantify dis…
Chaotic advection and relative dispersion in a convective flow
G. Boffetta, M. Cencini, S. Espa +1
Lagrangian chaos is experimentally investigated in a convective flow by means of Particle Tracking Velocimetry. The Finite Size Lyapunov Exponent analysis is applied to quantify di…
