purpose: to develop a computational model for predicting the fluid production and flow, and intraocular pressure (iop) following glaucoma surgery. methods: to help elucidate the interplay of physical factors controlling the distribution and absorption of aqueous humor in sub-conjunctival tissue, and tissue remodeling, a computational model is developed to predict the fluid production in the eye...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...

Background: Water distribution networks (WDNs) are facilities that require massive investment and their optimization is very important. This study aimed to optimization and development of models for promoting WDNs with using engineering judgment. In this method, instead of controlling all system states, it is possible to search the optimal set of options based on engineering judgment and hydra...

abstract background: the pressure of consumption spots in eater supply systems is one of the most important hydraulic parameters can be used in optimized management of water distribution networks. since the pressure has some different effects on various parameters of the network management including its hydraulic functions, reliability, stability and leakage, its control is of great importance ...

Microfluidic networks represent the milestone of microfluidic devices. Recent advancements in microfluidic technologies mandate complex designs where both hydraulic resistance and pressure drop across the microfluidic network are minimized, while wall shear stress is precisely mapped throughout the network. In this work, a combination of theoretical and modeling techniques is used to construct ...

The water transport properties of etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) internodes were studied using both dynamic and steady-state methods to determine (a) whether water transport through the growing tissue limits the rate of cell enlargement, and (b) whether auxin stimulates growth in part by increasing the hydraulic conductance of the growing tissue.Measurements using the pressure probe technique...
