Correlation of pressure gradient in three hepatic veins with portal pressure gradient
The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body, with functions such as detoxification, digestion, and blood coagulation. In terms of vascular anatomy, the liver is divided into the left and the right liver by the main portal vein, and there are three hepatic efferent veins (right, middle, and left) and two portal branches.

Development of A New Correlation for Estimating Pressure Gradient of Oil- Water Two Phase Flow in A Horizontal Pipe [PDF]
Pressure gradient of a two phase mixture in a horizontal pipe were experimentally investigated for water/super viscose oil mixtures. The mixture contained oil having a viscosity of 67 cp and density of 0.872 g/cm3, and pure water, flowing through an ...

The resilience of the logarithmic law to pressure gradients: evidence from direct numerical simulation [PDF]
Wall-bounded turbulence in pressure gradients is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a Couette–Poiseuille flow. The motivation is to include adverse pressure gradients, to complement the favourable ones present in the well-studied ...

The Pullback Pressure Gradient: A Physiologic Index to Differentiate Focal From Diffuse Coronary Artery Disease. [PDF]
Fractional flow reserve is the most widely used physiologic index to establish the functional significance of epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD). Fractional flow reserve guides clinical decisions toward or against coronary revascularization based on a single binary decision threshold indicative of myocardial ischemia.
