چکیده
The increased interest in transdermal drug delivery has highlighted the importance of understanding fluid-particles dynamics in porous media. In this work, the fluid-mediated transport of drug particles in the Corneocytes of Stratum Corneum is investigated by means of the Lattice Boltzmann method, as coupled to a particle dynamics solver to track the trajectory of the drug particles. The numerical method is meant to offer a computational framework for the analysis and optimization of transdermal drug delivery.

متن کاملUnsteady-state Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Hydrogen Separation from H2/N2 Mixture
3D modeling of Pd/α-Al2O3 hollow fiber membrane by using computational fluid dynamic for hydrogen separation from H2/N2 mixture was considered in steady and unsteady states by using the concept of characteristic time. Characteristic time concept could help us to design and calculate surface to volume ratio and membrane thickness, and adjust the feed conditions. The contribution of resistance be...
متن کاملInvestigation of stepped planning hull hydrodynamics using computational fluid dynamics and response surface method
The use of step at the bottom of the hull is one of the effective factors in reducing the resistance and increasing the stability of the Planning hull. The presence of step at the bottom of this type of hulls creates a separation in the flow, which reduces the wet surface on the hull, thus reducing the drag on the body, as well as reducing the dynamic trim. In this study, a design space was cre...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics study and GA modeling approach of the bend angle effect on thermal-hydraulic characteristics in zigzag channels
In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...
