This study introduced a combined computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and echocardiography methodology to simulate blood flow in the single right ventricle (SRV) and normal ventricles to study the intraventricular flow. Derived from echocardiographic image loops, CFD-based three-dimensional (3D) flow models of normal subject's left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) and SRV with and without ...

A local proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) plus Galerkin projection method is applied to the unsteady lid-driven cavity problem, namely the incompressible fluid flow in a twodimensional box whose upper wall is moved back and forth at moderately large values of the Reynolds number. Such a method was recently developed for one-dimensional parabolic problems. Its extension to fluid dynamics pro...

Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to study the low-speed stall aerodynamics of a GIII aircraft’s swept wing modified with a laminar-flow wing glove. The stall aerodynamics of the gloved wing were analyzed and compared with the unmodified wing for the flight speed of 120 knots and altitude of 2300 ft above mean sea level (MSL). The S...

Background and purpose: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recently, we reported the various hemodynamic characteristics of ruptured aneurysm with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The aim of this study was to assess whether CFD was useful to predict the development of DCI after SAH. Materials and m...

This paper presents steady-state (viscous) and timeaccurate (inviscid) numerical solutions of the flowfield inside the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (VTHST) with a Mach 4 nozzle. The numerical solutions are obtained using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver named GASP. Comparisons between the steady-state CFD solutions and available experimental data are also presented in this pa...
