The perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) density functional theory developed in our previous work was extended to the description of inhomogeneous confined behavior in nanopores for mixtures. In the developed model, the modified fundamental measure theory and the weighted density approximation were used to represent the hard-sphere and dispersion free energy functional...

The mechanical processes that underlie mild traumatic brain injury from physical insults are not well understood. One aspect in particular that has not been examined is the tissue fluid, which is known to be critical in the mechanical function of other organs. To investigate the contributions of solid-fluid interactions to brain tissue mechanics, we performed confined compression tests, that fo...

Understanding the behavior of viscoelastic (VE) fluids in confined geometries is crucial for applications biologic systems, heat transfer devices, enhanced oil recovery, and many others. Here, we perform a systematic steady-state simulation VE fluid at low Reynolds numbers through channel with successive smooth contractions expansions. We analyze hydrodynamic performance particular attention to...

Dispersion and deposition of aerosol particles over two square cylinders confined in a channel in laminar unsteady vortical flow were investigated numerically. Lattice Boltzmann method was used to calculate fluid characteristics and modify Euler method was employed as Lagrangian particle tracing procedure to obtain particle trajectories. Drag, Saffman lift, gravity, buoyancy and Brownian motion...
