Abstract: A gravity-based hydrodynamic flow loop capable of generating both steady and unsteady flow conditions is presented. The setup achieves velocities up to 16 cm/s and pressure fluctuations in the range of 60–130 mm Hg within the measurement zone, enabling hemodynamic studies of virtually any segment of the cardiovascular system. For the first time, flow rate control is achieved by varying the angle at the junction of the systolic and diastolic flow circuits of the loop. Independent control of the minimum and maximum pressure in the unsteady flow is also implemented.
