Abstract：
:Flow induced shear stress influences vascular cellular biology and pathophysiology in numerous ways. Previous in vitro studies on interactions between flow and endothelial cells using parallel-plate flow chambers involve two-dimensional flows, whereas flows in larger vessels are commonly three-dimensional. We have constructed a parallel plate flow chamber with a backward facing step aligned oblique to the axis of the chamber. Flow visualisation by steady injection of ink through a hypodermic tube reveals swirling flow in the recirculation region downstream of the step. At given angles of the step, theta; (to the axis of the chamber), the pitch of the swirl and the width of the separation region, as measured in the direction perpendicular to the step, increase with the Reynolds number (Re). On the other hand, at given values of Re, reduction of theta; results in increases in the swirl pitch but decreases in the width of the separation zone. Furthermore, clearance time of ink from the separation region is shorter with an oblique step than a perpendicular one at given Re. Computer simulation confirms the 3D swirling flow created by the oblique step and provides detailed distribution of wall shear stresses in the flow chamber.
