Windkessel effect is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries (Windkessel vessels) and the resistance of the smaller arteries and arterioles.

Jan 8, 2018 · Abstract. We describe a mechanistic model of Windkessel phenomenon based on the linear dynamics of fluid-structure interactions. The phenomenon has its origin in an old-fashioned fire-fighting equipment where an air chamber serves to transform the intermittent influx from a pump to a more steady stream out of the hose.

Apr 26, 2017 · This study demonstrates a statistically significant difference in intracranial contrast intensity times as a function of proximal aneurysm size. A potential mechanism for this finding may be the Windkessel effect, where the aneurysm acts as a reservoir of blood in systole and releases it in diastole.
Feb 1, 2024 · We describe the physics of the “Windkessel effect” and its role in smoothing the output of water produced by piston-driven pumps found in early fire engines and modern residential well houses. We also construct a simple, analytical model of its operation and apply this model to the Windkessel in Richard Newsham's 1725 fire engine.
