I have a question about fluid mechanics. I know it's not completely physics, but in the end, it involves physics:
Suppose you are computing the blood flow in an artery segment with length 3 cm and diameter 3 mm. The artery has a constant cross section and its positioned horizontally in your computation. Assume the density of the blood to be 1,000 kg/m3. Blood is incompressible. At some point in your computation, in a time period of 0.025 s, the average flow velocity you specify at the artery inlet changes from 0.2 m/s to 0.6 m/s. Based on the Bernoulli's equation, at the middle of that time period, what do you estimate/expect the blood pressure difference between the artery inlet and outlet ?
Thanks
