The experiments of McDonald and his co-workers (McDonald, 1952, 1955;
Helps & McDonald, 1953) have shown that in the larger arteries of the rabbit
and the dog there is a reversal of the flow. Measurements of the pressure
gradient (Helps & McDonald, 1953) showed a phase-lag between pressure
gradient and flow somewhat analogous with the phase-lag between voltage
and current in a conductor carrying alternating current, and the simple
mathematical treatment given below has strong similarities with the theory
of the distribution of alternating current in a conductor of finite size.
