Physical models of physiological flow-induced phenomena, such as blood flow through a stenosis or air flow during human speech production, often rely on a quasi-one-dimensional or two-dimensional flow model, so that details of the cross section shape are neglected. Nevertheless, boundary layer development is known to depend on the cross section shape. The aim of this thesis is to model, simulate and characterize the potential impact of the cross section shape for pressure-driven laminar channel flow without and with constriction. Stretched coordinates are introduced to obtain viscous flow solutions for channels with an arbitrary cross section. The proposed cross section shape parametrization is applied to solve physical equations for two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. A simplified quasi-three-dimensional flow model, which accounts for kinetic losses, viscosity and the cross section shape, is presented and applied to describe the flow through a stenosis. Finally, flow data are gathered experimentally and numerically in order to characterize the influence of the cross section shape in the case of a constricted channel. Modeled, experimental and numerical data are compared.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 24 (thesis year 1979) a total of 10,033 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 215 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 24 reports these submitted in 1979, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
