Bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) has the characteristic of both conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor and traditional magnetic bearings. In this paper, the design and analysis of BPMSM by using Matlab/Simulink and ANSYS Maxwell are presented. The principle of electromagnetic force is utilized to ensure a stable levitation operation of BPMSM. The BPMSM mathematica...

Most biological flyers undergo orderly deformation in flight, and the deformations of wings lead to complex fluid-structure interactions. In this paper, an aerodynamic-structural coupling method of flapping wing is developed based on ANSYS to simulate the flapping of flexible wing. Firstly, a three-dimensional model of the cicada’s wing is established. Then, numerical simulation method of unste...

Artificial valve replacement is a common procedure in case of heart valve disorders treatment. The main task of this prosthesis is to generate blood flow similar to flow generated by natural, human valve. Velocity distribution depends mainly on the geometry of the valve. That is why it should be analysed and modified in case to obtain the best results. The objective of this study was to numeric...

Prevailing high-speed air-breathing propulsion systems invariably banks on coaxial jets which plays a vigorous role in stabilization of flames and combustion emission. Coaxial jets have applications in supersonic ejectors, noise control techniques and enhancement of mixing. Coaxial jet nozzles regulate spreading rates by developing virtuous mean flow and shortening primary flow potential core l...

This work encompasses together a number of diverse disciplines (physiology, biomechanics, fluid mechanics and simulation) in order to develop a predictive model of the behaviour of a prosthetic heart valve in vivo. The application of simulation, for the study of other cardiovascular problems, such as blood clotting is also discussed. A commercial, finite volume, computational fluid dynamics (CF...
