Abstract

We have shown that spontaneous oscillations in flow in rabbit ear resistance arteries may sometimes exhibit behavior typical of type-III Pomeau-Manneville intermittency. The average number of oscillations per laminar length $〈n〉$ was related to a bifurcation parameter \ensuremath{\varepsilon} according to power-law scaling of the form $〈n〉\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\varepsilon}}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\beta}}.$ The critical exponent \ensuremath{\beta} was estimated as $\ensuremath{\sim}0.80,$ which is within the range reported for type-III intermittent chaos in nonbiological systems.
