Towards the Numerical Simulation of Electrocardiograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present preliminary results of the numerical simulation of electrocardiograms (ECG). We consider the bidomain equations to model the electrical activity of the heart and a Laplace equation for the torso. The ionic activity is modeled with a Mitchell-Schaeffer dynamics. We use adaptive semi-implicit BDF schemes for the time discretization and a Neumann-Robin domain decomposition algorithm for the space discretization. The obtained ECGs, although not completely satisfactory, are promising. They allow to discuss various modelling assumptions, for example the relevance of cells heterogeneity, the fiber orientation and the coupling conditions with the torso.

Numerical simulation of a three-layered radiant porous heat exchanger including lattice Boltzmann simulation of fluid flow
This paper deals with the hydrodynamic and thermal analysis of a new type of porous heat exchanger (PHE). This system operates based on energy conversion between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. The proposed PHE has one high temperature (HT) and two heat recovery (HR1 and HR2) sections. In HT section, the enthalpy of flowing high temperature gas flow that is converted to thermal radiation em...

In this study, the results of a direct numerical simulation of turbulent drag reduction in a channel flow by hydrophobic coating at a nominal shear Reynolds number of Reτ = 180 are reported. Slip condition is imposed on the lower wall whereas the upper wall has no-slip condition. For this purpose, the use is made of a numerical simulation of three-dimensional, time-dependent Navier-Stokes e...
