Fig. 3 Velocity profile in unsteady flow in a tube at different phase angles and Womersley numbers
Fig. 4 The pumping of blood from the heart to arteries analogous to the Windkessel effect
fluctuations in blood pressure during the cardiac cycle and helps to maintain organ
perfusion in the human body. The effect explains the interaction between the stroke
volume and the compliance of arteries. Figure 4 shows the Windkessel mechanism
and the analogous physiological system in the body.
