PURPOSE Computational flow dynamic (CFD) study has not been widely applied in intracranial artery stenosis due to requirement of high resolution in identifying the small intracranial artery. We described a process in CFD study applied to symptomatic severe intracranial (M1) stenosis before and after stenting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Reconstructed 3D angiography in STL format was transferred to ...

INTRODUCTION Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has recently seen increased use in the design of pharmaceutical inhalers. The use of CFD in the design of inhalers is made difficult by the complex nature of aerosol generation. At present, CFD has provided valuable insight into certain aspects of inhaler performance, though limitations in computational power have prevented the full implementation...

In some instances, it is inevitable that large amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals like chlorine gas are stored and used in facilities in densely populated areas. In such cases, all safety issues must be carefully considered. To reach this goal, it is important to have accurate information concerning chlorine gas behaviors and how it is dispersed in dense urban areas. Furthermore, mainta...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations provide a variety of data mining challenges and present an opportunity for novel solutions. A core challenge is that CFD computations can require weeks of computation on expensive high performance clusters, delaying investigation of results until a fully converged solution is obtained. 21st Century Systems, Inc. and Brigham Young University have be...

The aim of this research is to investigate the effects rheological models shear-thinning fluids and their estimated parameters on predictions laminar, transitional, turbulent flow. investigation was carried out through experimental computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies in horizontal pipes (diameters 19.1 mm 76.2 mm). Six using Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations CFD_ANSYS Fluent 19.0...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamics is thought to play an important role in the mechanisms responsible for initiation, growth, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis is used to assess intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ICA) flow rate on intra-aneurysmal he...

In this article the subject fluid structure interaction is approached using a real and a computational model. Different scenarios are tested in a laboratory facility, where analysis of transient phenomena are created. Since it’s a fluid-structure elastic phenomenon, it’s important to study the phenomenon unsteady flow induced that reflects a structural vibration, developed when the steady-state...

in our present research, we focus on the modeling of airflow related to natural disasters, such assand accumulation, with urban form studies. the objective is to find which urban form can promote sand passing andreduce as much as possible stagnation of sand in the building area (streets, alleys, etc.). the urban form design will bediscussed through the simulation of airflow by using computation...
