The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.6 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00013 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.14 SJR: 0.201 SNIP: 0.313 CiteScore™:: 1.2 H-Index: 13

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the behavior of pulsatile blood flow in a curved pipe that simulates the internal carotid artery (ICA), which is a common location for an aneurysm. Since complex secondary flow arises due to the curvature of artery, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was applied to obtain detailed flow information from in vitro experiments. However, blood flow in arteries is pulsatile and time-resolution of conventional PIV is not adequate for capturing the transient behavior of pulsatile flow. Thus, time-resolved PIV, which consists of high-speed cameras and high repetition rate lasers, was applied to measure unsteady flow. This new measurement method can provide superior resolution in space and in time.
Here, we demonstrate an improvement in resolution in space from a two-dimensional PIV system as compared to a stereo PIV system. To perform stereo calibration within a narrow and complex measurement area, we developed a non-invasive stereo calibration technique using lasers.
Stereo time-resolved PIV measurement allows the observation of two-dimensional, three-component transient flow structure. Pairs of secondary-flow vortices have different momentum and affect one other significantly. Flow characteristics at the systole phase are drastically different from those at the diastole phase, even with a similar Reynolds number.
