Arterial hemodynamic shear stress and blood vessel stiffening both significantly influence the arterial endothelial cell (EC) phenotype and atherosclerosis progression, and both have been shown to signal through cell-matrix adhesions. However, the cooperative effects of fluid shear stress and matrix stiffness on ECs remain unknown. To investigate these cooperative effects, we cultured bovine ao...

The lower solar atmosphere consists of partially ionized turbulent plasmas harbouring velocity field, magnetic field and current density fluctuations. The correlations amongst these small scale fluctuations give rise to large scale flows and magnetic fields which decisively affect all transport processes. The three fluid system consisting of electrons, ions and neutral particles supports nonide...

A computational fluid dynamics simulation study has been carried out for unsteady laminar flow in a planar 2D T-junction, using non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids with characteristics similar to those of blood. In the large blood vessels, blood can be modelled as a Newtonian fluid, however in smaller vessels it exhibits non-Newtonian behaviour, showing a shear-thinning viscosity and, additionall...

Various methods involving local proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and Galerkin projection are presented aiming at accelerating the numerical integration of nonlinear, time dependent, dissipative problems. The approach combines short runs with a given computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and low dimensional models constructed by appropriate POD modes, which adapt to the dynamics. Applic...

Lattice Monte Carlo methods are an excellent choice for the simulation of non-linear thermal diffusion problems. In this paper, and for the first time, Lattice Monte Carlo analysis is performed on thermal diffusion combined with convective heat transfer. Laminar flow of water modeled as an incompressible fluid inside a copper pipe with a constant surface temperature is considered. For the simul...

The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate accurate low frequency transient turbulent combustion modeling. For accurate flame dynamics some improvements were made to the standard TFC combustion model for lean premixed combustion. With use of a 1D laminar flamelet code, predictions have been made for the laminar flame speed and the critical strain rate to improve the TFC (Turbulen...

in this paper, the effects of adding nanoparticles including tio2 to a fluid media for purpose of free convection heat transfer improvement were analyzed. the free convection was assumed to be in laminar flow regime and the solutions and calculations were all done by the integral method. water, as a newtonian fluid, was considered the base fluid (water) and all the thermo physical properties of...

The basis of this paper is the assumption, that graviton is a measurable entity of molecular gravitational acceleration and this is not a hypothetical entity. The adoption of this assumption as an axiom is tantamount to fully opening the previously locked door to the boundary theory between laminar and turbulent flows. It leads to the theorem, that the division of flows of Newtonian (viscous) f...

The dynamic coefficients of a dry gas seal affect the characteristics rotor-seal systems. Fluid films in can be laminar, turbulent or with slip conditions, according to various operating conditions and design parameters. They defined as laminar turbulent, depending on Reynolds number, non-slip, Knudsen number. However, previous research did not consider effect seal. We proposed mathematical per...
