Purpose Computer simulations of hepatic radio-frequency ablation (RFA) were performed to: (i) determine the dependence vessel wall heat transfer coefficient on geometrical parameters; (ii) study conditions required for occurrence directional effect blood; and (iii) classify blood vessels according to their thermal lesion while considering coagulation. The information thus obtained supports deve...

In this article, the data assembled regarding the mixing of Newtonian and shear thinning fluids by screw impellers in a cylindrical tank is disclosed. The data summarizing some information on the efficiency of such impellers are obtained via 3D calculations of velocities and viscous dissipation in the whole vessel volume. The data presented herein may be useful for those who want to outline the...

In this article we investigate aspects of turgor-driven plant cell growth within the framework of a model derived from the Eulerian concept of instability. In particular we explore the relationship between cell geometry and cell turgor pressure by extending loss of stability theory to encompass cylindrical cells. Beginning with an analysis of the three-dimensional stress and strain of a cylindr...
