Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,502 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Blood Turbulent Flow in Carotid Artery Including the Effects of Mural Thrombosis Using Finite Element ModelingM. Arab-Ghanbari, M. M. Khani, A. Arefmanesh, F. Tabatabai-GhomsheArterial thrombosis is an extremely significant health problem. As a result of numerous factors involved in such problem, describing the role of hemodynamics in thrombogenesis has been asserted to be one of the most demanding and complicated challenges in biomechanics. An axisymmetric model considering fluid-structure interactions (FSI) was introduced and numerically solved for an artery with a thrombosis to perform … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,408 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Stent Geometry on Phase Shift between Pressure and Flow Waveforms in Stented Human Coronary ArteryVahab Dehlaghi, Siamak Najarian, Mohammad Tafazzoli ShadpourShear stress is known to play a central role in restenosis formation and is sensitive to stent geometry. Alterations of the phase shift between pressure and flow waveform created by a different stents were studied to compare the hemodynamic effects of stent design properties on restenosis in stented human coronary artery. Blood pressure waveforms were computed in three different sites, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,252 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Characteristics in Elastic Arteries Using a Fluid-Structure Interaction ModelH. Niroomand Oscuii, M. Tafazzoli Shadpour, Farzan GhalichiIn this study the interaction of blood flow with arterial wall has been investigated using FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) modeling. Computer simulation of pulsatile blood flow was carried out on the basis of the time dependent axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible Newtonian fluid flow. An elastic incompressible material with large deformation was considered for the arterial wall and momentum and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,429 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Pulsatile Blood Flow in a Stented Human Coronary Artery with a Flow DividerVahab Dehlaghi, Mohammad Tafazoli Shadpoor, Siamak NajarianShear stress is known to play a central role in restenosis formation and is sensitive to stent geometry. Local flow alterations created by a different stents without and with flow divider were studied to compare the hemodynamic effects of Stent design properties on restenosis in stented human coronary artery. Blood pressure and shear stress values were computed in three different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,521 accessesView PDF Cite
