Pulsatile flow through a bend. The calculated streamwise velocity profiles at the plane of symmetry are compared with experimental results (circles) [31] at different time instants. ( and are the outer and inner bend radius, resp.), is the streamwise velocity at the symmetry plane, and is the maximum streamwise velocity at the symmetry plane at and .
