This does effect flow in an artery, and I do see turbulence caused by the tortuosity, as well as a pressure drop beyond. Some of this can be applied to a cars exhaust, and I think thats why I pay extra attention in trying to maintain good curves when it comes to my exhuast.
Cool, a unique point of view. Not really a lot I can say to counter it, so I shall bow my head and agree with you.
