The intestine, a muscular, tubular organ within the digestive system is responsible for the final stages of food processing. The cyclic material transport generates a shear stress on the intestinal lining known as epithelium. Recently, the application of shear stress on epithelial cells ... Read More
This study focuses on optimizing the lengths of various structural components around a cylinder to minimize drag. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical simulations involving Laminar Flow were performed. Key components optimized include an arrowhead positioned upstream and two flaps ... Read More
During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... Read More
This study investigates the shock boundary layer interaction occurring at the base of a double sharp fin. The base geometry is of particular interest, with comparisons made between flat and semi-cylindrical bases. The flow field is characterized via numerical simulations and ... Read More
Some of the most common fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applications in biomedical research include blood flow in the veins and arteries. COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software offers two main multiphysics schemes for FSI problems: partitioned (segregated) and monolithic (fully ... Read More
The objective of this paper is to study the effects of compliance mismatch in a stented artery. COMSOL Multiphysics is used to tackle this challenging problem involving fluid-structure interaction. The particular effects studied in this paper are the radial displacement of the artery ... Read More
Acoustic wave propagation due to the breakage or slippage of reinforced wire in water-filled prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) attracts interest in non-destructive pipe testing. Current practice of acoustic emission (AE) detection and wire-break related events (WRE) recognition ... Read More
The mitral valve apparatus is a complex and refined mechanism located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart which can manifest various kinds of pathologies. In order to support identification of potentially critical conditions resulting from some typical ... Read More
Valves are widely used to control fluid flow in various engineering applications. It’s crucial to study the flow characteristics inside the valve and the fluid-structure interaction between the fluid and valve’s sleeve for design, optimization and improvement of valves. However, because ... Read More
The expression <em>adaptive optics</em> was initially termed for the technology used in the telescopes to deform the mirrors to allow for phase correction of the incoming light. Soon, the adaptive optics was also implemented in microscopes, optical communication systems and ... Read More
