Turbulent pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
Direct numerical simulation of the weakly turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is undertaken for two different generalised Newtonian rheology models using a spectral element-Fourier method. Results for a power law (shear-thinning) rheology agree well with experimentally determined logarithmic layer correlations and with other previously published experimental work. As the flow index becomes s...
متن کاملFull dynamics of a red blood cell in shear flow.
At the cellular scale, blood fluidity and mass transport depend on the dynamics of red blood cells in blood flow, specifically on their deformation and orientation. These dynamics are governed by cellular rheological properties, such as internal viscosity and cytoskeleton elasticity. In diseases in which cell rheology is altered genetically or by parasitic invasion or by changes in the microenv...
متن کاملVacuum Flow Focusing Microfluidics to Study Blood Cell Dynamics under Shear Gradient Aggregation Mechanism
This paper reports on the development of a microfluidic platform to study mass transport behaviour of blood cells at micro-scale stenosis where local strain-rate micro-gradients trigger platelet aggregation. We present the design, fabrication and blood testing of a microfluidic device that incorporates symmetric or asymmetric flow focusing using a single pressure driver to study the hemodynamic...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional vesicle dynamics under shear flow: effect of confinement.
Dynamics of a single vesicle under shear flow between two parallel plates is studied in two-dimensions using lattice-Boltzmann simulations. We first present how we adapted the lattice-Boltzmann method to simulate vesicle dynamics, using an approach known from the immersed boundary method. The fluid flow is computed on an Eulerian regular fixed mesh while the location of the vesicle membrane is ...
متن کاملAdhesion under Shear Flow
The 4 integrin, 4 7, plays an important role in recruiting circulating lymphocytes to the gastrointestinal tract, where its ligand mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) is preferentially expressed on high endothelial venules (HEVs). Dual antagonists of 4 1 and 4 7, N-(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)-(L)-4-(2 ,6 -bis-methoxyphenyl)phenylalanine (TR14035) and N-{N-[(3,5-dichlorobenzene)sulfo...
