conclusion results reinforced the pivotal role of vascular geometry, with respect to hemodynamics, together with the importance of performing patient-specific cfd analyses, through which the effect of different blood flow conditions on the aneurysm hemodynamics could be evaluated. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ica...

In this paper, numerical investigation of upward two phase flow of air-water has been studied. Different conditions of flow regimes including annular, wispy annular, slug, churn and bubbly are simulated based on Hewitt and Roberts map, and a good agreement between the experimental data of the map and the numerical simulation has been observed. Accordingly, a proper CFD model in CFD software of ...

In an attempt to reduce the high computational efforts for dynamic thermal simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) the authors have recently developed an adaptive freeze-flow method (i.e. freezing of flow equations over variable time periods). This paper documents the work that has been carried out to predict the radiative surface heat transfer in dynamic thermal building processes...

Solid-fluid interaction vitally influences the flow dynamics of particles in a geophysical flow. A coupled computational fluid and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) is used this study to model multiphase as mixture solid phases. The two non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., Bingham Hershcel-Bulkley fluids) water mixed with are considered simulation, while dry granular same volume simulated control test. ...

A novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (CFD-MK) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. Dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. This dynamic c...

Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code calculates flow properties for the analysis of a flow system. Flow properties are computed based on conservation principles and various phenomenological models. The accuracy of the computed flow properties highly depends on the validity of the models and the degree of numerical convergence. Validation of a CFD code is essential for application of an engine...

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) surrogates are developed to efficiently compute the aerodynamic heating and unsteady pressure loads for a structurally and thermally compliant skin panel in hypersonic flow. In order to minimize the computational overhead, the surrogates are constructed using steady-state CFD flow analysis. Unsteady terms in the aerodynamic pressure are incorporated using pisto...

the aim of the present study was to develop a tissue-engineering approach through alginate gel molding to mimic cartilage tissue in a three-dimensional culture system. the perfusion biomimetic bioreactor was designed to mimic natural joint. the shear stresses exerting on the bioreactor chamber were calculated by computational fluid dynamic (cfd). several alginate/bovine chondrocyte constructs w...
