In my research I analyzed previously recorded video of oscillating flow of blood through an in vitro model of a simple micro vascular network. The in vitro model was a triangular construction with two inlet streams and two outlet streams. One inlet stream was perfused with saline solution and the other introduced red blood cell suspension into the network. The flow oscillated spontaneously between the blood and saline inlets. The location of the meniscus between the blood and saline rate was extracted from the recorded videos as function of time. The MatLab Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) was used to identify the frequencies of the blood flow oscillation. Results of the FFT allowed a quantitative comparison of four sets of data. The analysis of the video records shows that the spontaneous oscillations are long term and sustained. The experimental data show that this in vitro demonstration of spontaneous oscillations is reproducible. The analysis also quantitatively shows influence of the blood and saline inflow rates on the generated oscillations.
