Experimental assessment of theory on the convective dispersion of blood gases by vortices in a curved channel exchanger has demonstrated the impracticality of the proposed design. A nonlinear stability analysis of the fluid dynamics provided an amplitude factor an order of magnitude less than that previously assumed for the system secondary circulations.
