The estimation of energy stored in turbulent flow could
provide detailed information about the losses due to
obstructed blood flow. Phase-Contrast MRI and Particle
Tracking Velocimetry in a replica of the human aortic
arch have been employed to quantify this Turbulent
Kinetic Energy and assess the influence of voxel size,
non-Gaussian velocity distributions and turbulent time
scales. Results showed that up to a voxel size of 2 mm
the error due to the assumptions of the signal model
should be below 5%. However, direct comparison of MRI
and Particle Tracking data show systematic errors not
explainable by the signal model.
