An experimental-computational hybrid simulator for hemodynamics in cerebral artery is developed as a first step toward biofluid mechanics in microgravity. A realistic model of cerebral artery is reproduced from 3-D shape date taken by MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Three-dimensional distribution of steady blood flow in the model is measured by using an index-matching stereo PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique. The computation results are in good agreement with the present experimental data. Some features of pulsatile blood flow are revealed from the computational results.
