Velocity measurements in the dog aorta using a thin film anemometer are described. The instantaneous velocity profiles for the ascending and descending aorta indicate a large inertial core region with relatively thin boundary layers; pronounced non-uniformities are present in the ascending aorta. Generally the flow was found to be free of turbulence with one notable exception; the possible origins of flow disturbances are discussed.
Clark et al. (1973) studied this question.
