Computational aspects in numerical simulation of skin tissues
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present some computational aspects in numerical simulation of the human skin tissue. A multi-layered model is considered for the skin tissue with emphasis on the mathematical modelling and numerical models in space 2D and 3D (for axisymmetric fields). A coupled model involves an interdisciplinary study including physiology, biology, neurology, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and computeraided analysis of the coupled phenomena. We limit our study to some particular cases with emphasis on the numerical simulation of the heat transfer in the skin and its thermomechanical behaviour.

Numerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
متن کاملBiomechanical Evaluation and Comparison of the Artificial and Natural Skin Properties Using Finite Element Method
Introduction: The self-repair process cannot occur in the skin lesions, therefore, skin replacements are used due to the formation of a scar, which resulted in the complete loss of skin. Artificial skin should have the same specifications as the natural skin. The finite element methods were used in this study to evaluate the biomechanichal properties of natural and artificial skins. Materials ...

The convective heat transfer and pressure drop of water based Al2O3 nanofluid in a horizontal tube subject to constant wall temperature condition is investigated by computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method. The Al2O3 nanofluid at five volume concentration of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 % are applied as a non Newtonian power law and Newtonian fluid with experimentally measured properties of density...

In this investigation a new model was developed to calculate gas pressure at the melt/foam interface (Gap) resulting from foam degradation during mould filling in the Lost Foam Casting (LFC) process. Different aspects of the process, such as foam degradation, gas elimination, transient mass, heat transfer, and permeability of the refractory coating were incorporated into this model. A Computati...
متن کاملA Numerical Simulation of Inspiratory Airflow in Human Airways during Exercise at Sea Level and at High Altitude
At high altitudes, the air pressure is much lower than it is at sea level and contains fewer oxygen molecules and less oxygen is taken in at each breath. This requires deeper and rapid breathing to get the same amount of oxygen into the blood stream compared to breathing in air at sea level. Exercises increase the oxygen demand and make breathing more difficult at high altitude. In this study, ...
