Simulation of Electrophysiological Waves with an Unstructured Finite Element Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bidomain models are commonly used for studying and simulating electrophysiological waves in the cardiac tissue. Most of the time, the associated PDEs are solved using explicit finite difference methods on structured grids. We propose an implicit finite element method using unstructured grids for an anisotropic bidomain model. The impact and numerical requirements of unstructured grid methods is investigated using a test case with re-entrant waves. Mathematics Subject Classification. 35K57, 65M60, 92Cxx.

Dynamic Simulation and Control of a Continuous Bioreactor Based on Cell Population Balance Model
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. Because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (PBE) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. In this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used f...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional dam-break simulation over movable beds with an unstructured mesh
This paper reports the application of a two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged model to dam break flows over alluvial sand beds with an initial bed step. The model applies the Finite Element Method to discretize the computational domain using an unstructured mesh made of triangular elements. Two downstream boundary conditions were tested: zero (dry) and non-zero (wet) initial water depths. The mod...
متن کاملAdaptive Unstructured Grid Generation Scheme for Solution of the Heat Equation
An adaptive unstructured grid generation scheme is introduced to use finite volume (FV) and finite element (FE) formulation to solve the heat equation with singular boundary conditions. Regular grids could not acheive accurate solution to this problem. The grid generation scheme uses an optimal time complexity frontal method for the automatic generation and delaunay triangulation of the grid po...
متن کاملPiezoceramic Element Design and Fabrication for Ultrasonic Transducer of Gas Meter
Ultrasonic transducers play a significant role in generating and receiving the acoustic waves in ultrasonic flowmeters. Depending on the required accuracy, the ultrasonic transducers can be installed either in one pair or more in an ultrasonic flowmeter. The main part of an ultrasonic transducer is its piezoceramic element. In this work, four piezoceramic elements with different diameter to thi...
متن کاملSolution of Wave Equations Near Seawalls by Finite Element Method
A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...
