The aim of this study was to determine a method for the numerical estimation of blood damage. Normally, human or animal blood is used for in vitro evaluation of lysis by artificial organs. However, blood has some disadvantages: large biological variability and different initial test conditions lead to nonreproducible test results. For that reason, it would be an advantage to have a numerical me...

Simulating the electric field-driven motion of rigid or deformable bodies in fluid media requires the solution of coupled equations of electrodynamics and hydrodynamics. In this work, we present a numerical method for treating such equations of electrohydrodynamics in an immersed body framework. In our approach, the electric field and fluid equations are solved on an Eulerian grid, and the imme...

this paper presents a numerical simulation of developing flow and heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid in a rectangular duct. in fully developed flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a non-circular duct, secondary flows normal to the flow direction are expected to enhance the rate of heat and mass transfer. on the other hand, properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat and rela...
