Abstract
We have reviewed briefly some features of the mechanics of blood flow, focusing particularly on the arterial system. Among the topics we consider are: steady and nonsteady flow in straight rigid tubes; the curvature and branching of arteries, noting that it may commonly be nonplanar; and the effects of both planar and nonplanar curvature and branching on flow. Steady flow in planar bends and branches (and to a small extent in nonplanar bends and branches) has attracted study. However, there has been little study of nonsteady flow in either planar or nonplanar bends and branches.Keywords
