Experimental studies were conducted on the stability of collapsible tubes conveying fluid in the context of cardiovascular mechanics. This paper investigated the turbulent and laminar regimes with equal flow rates and pressure drops to identify the stability boundary and self-exciting oscillation modes of Penrose tubes in the Starling resistor. Four oscillation modes were observed visually and through pressure measurements for laminar and turbulent regimes. Comparisons were made between amplitudes, frequencies, and boundaries of different oscillation modes for equivalent laminar and turbulent flow regimes.
Experimental studies of the stability of the collapsible tubes conveying fluid have been previously conducted in the context of cardiovascular mechanics mostly for turbulent flows, although blood flows are laminar under normal conditions. In this paper, the turbulent and laminar regimes with equal flow rates and pressure drops are investigated experimentally to identify the stability boundary and self-exciting oscillation modes of Penrose tubes conveying fluid in the Starling resistor. Four oscillation modes for laminar and for turbulent regimes were observed visually and by measuring the pressure drop and the output pressure. Comparison of amplitudes, frequencies, and boundaries between different oscillation modes for equivalent laminar and turbulent flow regimes is performed.
