Flow rate of transport network controls uniform metabolite supply to tissue
Life and functioning of higher organisms depends on the continuous supply of metabolites to tissues and organs. What are the requirements on the transport network pervading a tissue to provide a uniform supply of metabolites? We present an analytical scaling argument and numerical simulations on how flow dynamics and network architecture control active spread and uniform supply of metabolites b...
متن کاملTransport Far From Equilibrium — Uniform Shear Flow
The BGK model kinetic equation is applied to spatially inhomogeneous states near steady uniform shear flow. The shear rate of the reference steady state can be large so the states considered include those very far from equilibrium. The single particle distribution function is calculated exactly to first order in the deviations of the hydrodynamic field gradients from their values in the referen...
متن کاملTransport Property Estimation of Non-Uniform Porous Media
In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...
متن کاملTransport of flexible chiral objects in a uniform shear flow
The transport of slightly deformable chiral objects in a uniform shear flow is investigated. Depending on the equilibrium configuration one finds up to four different asymptotic states that can be distinguished by lateral drift velocity of their center of mass, rotational motion about the center of mass and deformations of the object. These deformations influence the magnitudes of the principal...
متن کاملPfrtp: per Flow Rate Based Transport Protocol
The important research issue that is to be tackled in multihop ad hoc wireless network is the guarantee of fairness for concurrent flows in rate based transport protocol (Radunovic et al 2004). In this chapter, throughput unfairness of concurrent flow is analyzed. The end-to-end throughput of a packet flow degrades significantly with the increase in the number of its transmission hops. Fairness...
