This paper deals with a mathematical attempt to determine the wall shear during normal flow of blood in the ascending and the descending thoracic aorta. A simple model is used, but the results obtained are in agreement with published experimental results for the descending thoracic aorta. It is suggested that the degree of fluctuation in the pressure gradient at a given station is the major factor in determining the level of wall shear at that point.
