Pressure gradient prediction in aortic coarctation using a computational-fluid-dynamics model: validation against invasive pressure catheterization at rest and pharmacological stress
Background Aortic Coarctation (AoCo) accounts for 5-8% of the children with CHD. Even after successful early repair, life expectancy is still markedly reduced (80% at 50 years after surgery) compared to normal population due to long term complications (hypertension). Usually, invasive diagnostic catheter investigations are required to evaluate the pressure gradient across the aorta at rest, or ...
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, ...
متن کاملPrediction of Pressure Drop of Al2O3-Water Nanofluid in Flat Tubes Using CFD and Artificial Neural Networks
In the present study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are used to predict the pressure drop value (Δp ) of Al2O3-water nanofluid in flat tubes. Δp is predicted taking into account five input variables: tube flattening (H), inlet volumetric flow rate (Qi ), wall heat flux (qnw ), nanoparticle volume fraction (Φ) and nanoparticle diameter (dp ...
متن کاملCFD Simulation of Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flow in Pneumatic Conveying of Wheat
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of gas-solid flow through a positive low-pressure pneumatic conveyor were performed using Eulerian-Eulerian framework. Pressure drop in pneumatic conveying pipelines, creation and destruction of plugs along the horizontal and vertical pipes, effect of 90° elbows and U-bends on cross-section concentrations, and rope formation and dispersion were...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional CFD Analysis of the Hemodynamic Effect of Different Stent-to-Artery Deployment Ratios
In vascular cardiology, stenting coronary arteries with the diameter greater than that of the native artery has been used in an attempt to securely anchor the device against the arterial wall. Various stent-to-artery deployment ratios can be used by clinicians to implant the stent into the artery. However, stent expansion beyond the native artery diameter alters vascular hemodynamic scenarios. ...
