We show that discrete element simulations of colloidal gelation must account for hydrodynamic interactions between suspended particles through investigation of gelation in a dispersion of colloids interacting pair-wise via short-ranged attraction and long-ranged repulsion (SALR). These dynamic simulations juxtapose self-assembly with and without hydrodynamic interactions between the particles. ...

background and aims: adenovector gene transfer induces inflammatory response that finally leads to vector removal from delivered site. the effect of hydrodynamic pre-injection on adenovector mediated liver inflammation remained elusive. materials and methods: different mice groups were pre-treated by hydrodynamic saline, dexamethasone or nothing prior to adeno-luciferase administration. their s...

Extensive experimental investigations of hydrofoil-assisted catamarans have identified the main hydrodynamic parameters affecting the performance of these vessels. Design principles of existing vessels are discussed in the light of these hydrodynamic findings. The experience gained from experimental testing has provided the basis for the development of a non-linear vortex lattice method for des...

We generalize our previous work on the phase stability and hydrodynamic of polar liquid crystals possessing local uniaxial C infinity v symmetry to biaxial systems exhibiting local C2v symmetry. Our work is motivated by the recently discovered examples of thermotropic biaxial nematic liquid crystals comprising bent-core mesogens, whose molecular structure is characterized by a non-polar-body ax...

Evidence in support of safety of a gene delivery procedure is essential toward gene therapy. Previous studies using the hydrodynamics-based procedure primarily focus on gene delivery efficiency or gene function analysis in mice. The current study focuses on an assessment of the safety of computer-controlled and liver-targeted hydrodynamic gene delivery in dogs as the first step toward hydrodyna...

Effect of scale on the hydrodynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated in two fluidized beds of 152 mm and 78 mm in diameter.  Air at room temperature was used as the fluidizing gas in the bed of sand particles. The Radioactive Particle Tracking (RPT) technique was employed to obtain the instantaneous positions of the particles at every 20 ms of the experiments. These data were u...

In this study authors solve the fundamental set of equations of the hydrodynamic theory of lubrication, namely are: the continuity equation, conservation of momentum and conservation of energy for the case of stationary slide bearings lubrication with a thixotropic lubricant. Adoption of assumption of steady flow loads in the considered phenomenon to the changes absence of the flow parameters i...
