Droplet (fluid) -droplet (fluid) interaction: A numerical investigation of binary droplet collisions in a gaseous phase has been conducted as part of the coalescence modeling project. A volume of fluid (VOF) based interface capturing method, which is characterized by introducing an extra artificial compression term into the volume-fraction transport equation, is employed to capture the liquid-g...

This letter aims to clarify the definitions of the posterior arcuate fasciculus (pAF) and the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF). These two tracts are of interest in many different fields, including the neuroscience of language (Catani, Jones, & ffytche, 2005), post-mortem dissection (Vergani, Mahmood, Morris, Mitchell, & Forkel, 2014), reading (Thiebaut de Schotten, Cohen, Amemiya, Braga, & D...

Purpose Reproducible absolute quantification of cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) by dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) is difficult to achieve, for example, due to partial-volume effects (PVEs). Rescaling of the arterial input function (AIF) using a corrected venous output function (VOF) in DSC-MRI has been shown to improve the correlation between CBF estimat...

An advanced Volume-of-Fluid or VOF procedure for locally conservative reconstruction of multi-material interfaces based on volume fraction information in cells of an unstructured mesh is presented in this paper. The procedure employs improved neighbor definitions and topological consistency checks of the interface for computing a more accurate interface approximation. Comparison with previously...

In this study we implemented the network simulation techniques using macromodels (lumped models) for capillary driven flows in microfluidic networks. The flow characteristics in a flow junction, such as meniscus stretching and bifurcation, were studied and their effects on filling time as well as pressure drop were explored for various network configurations. The results from the network simula...

A penalization approach is presented to simulate two-phase flow in the presence of immersed solid boundaries so as to consider highly complex objects such as porous media microstructures. Based on the standard Volume-Of-Fluid formulation, the method takes into account the wettability effects which may occur on the surface of immersed solid boundaries. A spatial shift between the no-slip and the...

In this study, some important variables in the bioleaching, such as ferric and zinc ions concentration in the liquid phase and velocity field around a single particle were simulated. Volume of fluid (VOF) method was used to predict the mentioned fields in a 3D geometry. Results show that VOF is a successful approach for prediction of velocity and concentration fields. The computational model ha...
