  1. NUMERICAL STUDY OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID FLOWS IN YSHAPED STRUCTURES. Vascular and respiratory trees are complex flow systems consisting of series of large and small ducts. Although the literature reports several cases that are in accordance with Hess-Murray law, there are also some branching patterns of natural systems that deviate from this law. In this study, a numerical analysis was carried out to investigate laminar fluid flow of non- Newtonian fluids, in Y-sha. 2017. Sehn, Alysson; Pepe, Vinicius; Miguel, A.

  2. Branching in fluidic networks with permeable walls: an extension of Hess-Murray’s law. The branching of fluidic networks becomes a subject of great interest due to its importance in understanding the behavior of branching networks in biology (cardiovascular and bronchial systems, river basins, the structure of plants and trees, etc..), as well as for the biomimetic design of engineering systems [1, 2]. The successive division of tubes and their hierarchical structure are distinctive. 2017. Pepe, Vinícius R.; Rocha, Luiz A. O.; Miguel, A. F.. http://hdl.handle.net/10174/20933.
