List of top Biomechanics Questions on Fluid Mechanics asked in GATE BM

For pulsatile blood flow through an artery of internal diameter 20 mm, wall thickness 1 mm, and Young’s Modulus 1 MPa, what is the wave speed in metres per second? (rounded off to one decimal place). Assume the density of blood to be 1050 kg/m\(^3\).
A Newtonian fluid of viscosity \( \mu \) is undergoing laminar flow in a tube of radius \( R \). For a constant pressure drop per unit length along the tube, which of the following statement(s) is/are CORRECT?
Note: \( r \) represents the radial position; assume no slip condition at the boundaries.
Cerebrospinal fluid in humans is present in the _______space.

Let \( R_1, R_2 \) and \( R_3 \) be the Reynolds numbers corresponding to the following three cases, respectively: 
Case 1: A 1 \(\mu\)m long bacterium swimming in water
Case 2: A 10 cm long fish swimming in water
Case 3: A 10 m long whale swimming in water
If each of them covers a distance equal to their respective body length in one second, which one of the following is CORRECT?
