Hydraulic tortuosity in arbitrary porous media flow.
Tortuosity (T) is a parameter describing an average elongation of fluid streamlines in a porous medium as compared to free flow. In this paper several methods of calculating this quantity from lengths of individual streamlines are compared and their weak and strong features are discussed. An alternative method is proposed, which enables one to calculate T directly from the fluid velocity field,...
متن کاملRelationship between coronary tortuosity and plateletcrit coronary tortuosity and plateletcrit.
BACKGROUND Coronary tortuosity (CorT) is a common angiographic finding and may be associated with myocardial ischaemia, even without coronary artery disease. Platelets play a crucial role in inflammatory and thrombotic processes and the physiopathology of cardiovascular disease. Larger platelets are more active enzymatically and have higher thrombotic ability compared to smaller platelets. Plat...
متن کاملFinite Element simulation of buckling-induced vein tortuosity and influence of the wall constitutive properties.
The mechanisms giving rise to vein tortuosity, which is often associated with varicosis, are poorly understood. Recent works suggest that significant biological changes in the wall of varicose veins may precede the mechanical aspects of the disease. To test the hypothesis of tortuosity being a consequence of these changes, a Finite Element model was developed based on previous experimental work...
متن کاملEvaluation of solid oxide fuel cell anode based on active triple phase boundary length and tortuosity
An efficient procedure is presented for the evaluation of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode microstructure triple phase boundary length (TPBL). Triple phase boundary- the one that is common between three phases of the microstructure- has a great influence on the overall efficiency of SOFC because all electrochemical reactions of anode take place in its vicinity. Therefore, evaluation of TP...
