This paper collects the efforts done in our previous works [8],[11],[10] to build a robust multiscale kinetic-fluid solver. Our scope is to efficiently solve fluid dynamic problems which present non equilibrium localized regions that can move, merge, appear or disappear in time. The main ingredients of the present work are the followings ones: a fluid model is solved in the whole domain togethe...

Predicting fluid responsiveness, the response of stroke volume to fluid loading, is a relatively novel concept that aims to optimise circulation, and as such organ perfusion, while avoiding futile and potentially deleterious fluid administrations in critically ill patients. Dynamic parameters have shown to be superior in predicting the response to fluid loading compared with static cardiac fill...

It is generally accepted that animal-fluid interactions have shaped the evolution of animals that swim and fly. However, the functional ecological advantages associated with those adaptations are currently difficult to predict on the basis of measurements of the animal-fluid interactions. We report the identification of a robust, fluid dynamic correlate of distinct ecological functions in seven...

We present the design, fabrication and testing of a novel all-optical 2D flow velocity sensor, inspired by a fish lateral line neuromast. This artificial neuromast consists of optical fibres inscribed with Bragg gratings supporting a fluid force recipient sphere. Its dynamic response is modelled based on the Stokes solution for unsteady flow around a sphere and found to agree with experimental ...

In this paper, we consider scenes that are immersed in transparent refractive media with a dynamic surface. We take the first steps to reconstruct both the 3D fluid surface shape and the 3D structure of immersed scene simultaneously by utilizing distortion and defocus clues. We demonstrate that the images captured through a refractive dynamic fluid surface are the distorted and blurred versions...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We adopted an imaging algorithm in 2011 in which extradural fluid on spinal MR imaging directs dynamic CT myelography. We assessed algorithm compliance and its effectiveness in reducing repeat or unnecessary dynamic CT myelograms. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT myelograms for CSF leaks from January 2011 to September 2014 were reviewed. Patients with iatrogenic leaks, traumati...

Nanofluid is made through the nanoscale particles suspended in a fluid base and Nanotechnology is a new attempt in thermal science investigations. As a result of huge investment in developed countries on nanotechnology, research on thermal properties of nano-fluids is of particular interest. Due to the usage of nanotechnology to reduce energy consumptions, in this project CeO2 with EG is used t...
