Abstract

The major cause of arterial bypass graft failure is intimal hyperplasia. Fluctuating wall shear stresses in the graft, which are associated with disturbed flow, are believed to be important factors in the development and localization of intimal hyperplasia. This study, based upon water as the working fluid, has investigated the flow structure inside a 30
