Abstract

Pulsatile flow dynamics in reference to the relevant experimental research on the manner between the time periods of 1997- 2015 is presented in this paper. The flow field under discussion is generated through a rigid circular cross-sectional pipe as an axial slightly- compressible and sinusoidal one in a controlled range of the oscillation parameters. Laminar and turbulent flow regimes are considered with a particular emphasis devoted to the transitional characteristics of laminar pulsatile flow into turbulence. The definitions of the flow characteristics, the methodology of the experimental studies and the results on the physical nature of the field are described. The departure of pulsatile flow from a steady one is presented in reference to the velocity field and frictional field analyse sunder the influence of oscillation frequency and amplitude. In this context, the critical magnitudes of Womersley number, time-averaged Reynolds number and oscillation amplitude to estimate the ranges of pulsatile flow field are proposed
