Particle image velocimetry in a foam-like porous structure using refractive index matching: a method to characterize the hydrodynamic performance of porous structures [PDF]
We present a method to measure two-dimensional velocity fields inside an artificial foam-like porous structure using particle image velocimetry and a refractive index matching technique to avoid optical distortion. The porous structure is manufactured by

Fetal cells and cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood: new insights into pre-eclampsia [PDF]
The examination of fetal cells, specifically erythroblasts, and cell-free fetal DNA from the blood of pregnant women is currently the subject of intense research with the aim of developing new risk-free methods for prenatal diagnosis.

Turbulent swirling flow in a model of a uniflow-scavenged two-stroke engine [PDF]
The turbulent and swirling flow of a uniflow-scavenged two-stroke engine cylinder is investigated using a scale model with a static geometry and a transparent cylinder. The swirl is generated by 30 equally spaced ports with angles of 0°,10°,20°, and 30°.

Numerical comparison of the closing dynamics of a new trileaflet and a bileaflet mechanical aortic heart valve [PDF]
[[abstract]]The closing velocity of the leaflets of mechanical heart valves is excessively rapid and can cause the cavitation phenomenon. Cavitation bubbles collapse and produce high pressure which then damages red blood cells and platelets.

Imaging laser Doppler velocimetry [PDF]
Imaging laser Doppler velocimetry (ILDV) is a novel flow measurement technique, which enables the measurement of the velocity in an imaging plane. It is an evolution of heterodyne Doppler global velocimetry (HDGV) and may be regarded as the planar ...

Experimental measurements of the laminar separation bubble on an Eppler 387 airfoil at low Reynolds numbers [PDF]
An experimental investigation was conducted to measure the flow velocity in the boundary layer of an Eppler 387 airfoil. In particular, the laminar separation bubble that this airfoil exhibits at low Reynolds numbers was the focus. Single component laser
