Investigation of physiological pulsatile flow in a model arterial stenosis using large-eddy and direct numerical simulations

Physiologicalpulsatileflow in a 3D model of arterialstenosis is investigated by using largeeddysimulation (LES) technique. The computational domain chosen is a simple channel with a biological type stenosis formed eccentrically on the top wall. The physiological pulsation is generated at the inlet using the first harmonic of the Fourier series of pressure pulse. In LES, the large scale flows are resolved fully while the unresolved subgrid scale (SGS) motions are modelled using a localized dynamic model. Due to the narrowing of artery the pulsatileflow becomes transition-to-turbulent in the downstream region of the stenosis, where a high level of turbulent fluctuations is achieved, and some detailed information about the nature of these fluctuations are revealed through the investigation of the turbulent energy spectra. Transition-to-turbulent of the pulsatileflow in the post stenosis is examined through the various numerical results such as velocity, streamlines, velocity vectors, vortices, wall pressure and shear stresses, turbulent kinetic energy, and pressure gradient. A comparison of the LES results with the coarse DNS are given for the Reynolds number of 2000 in terms of the mean pressure, wall shear stress as well as the turbulent characteristics. The results show that the shear stress at the upper wall is low just prior to the centre of the stenosis, while it is maximum in the throat of the stenosis. But, at the immediate post stenotic region, the wall shear stress takes the oscillating form which is quite harmful to the blood cells and vessels. In addition, the pressure drops at the throat of the stenosis where the re-circulated flow region is created due to the adverse pressure gradient. The maximum turbulent kinetic energy is located at the post stenosis with the presence of the inertial sub-range region of slope −5/3

An anisotropic mesh adaptation method for the finite element solution of heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion problems

Heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion problems arise in the various areas of science and engineering including plasma physics, petroleum engineering, and image processing. Standard numerical methods can produce spurious oscillations when they are used to solve those problems. A common approach to avoid this difficulty is to design a proper numerical scheme and/or a proper mesh so that the numerical solution validates the discrete counterpart (DMP) of the maximum principle satisfied by the continuous solution. A well known mesh condition for the DMP satisfaction by the linear finite element solution of isotropic diffusion problems is the non-obtuse angle condition that requires the dihedral angles of mesh elements to be non-obtuse. In this paper, a generalization of the condition, the so-called anisotropic non-obtuse angle condition, is developed for the finite element solution of heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion problems. The new condition is essentially the same as the existing one except that the dihedral angles are now measured in a metric depending on the diffusion matrix of the underlying problem. Several variants of the new condition are obtained. Based on one of them, two metric tensors for use in anisotropic mesh generation are developed to account for DMP satisfaction and the combination of DMP satisfaction and mesh adaptivity. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the features of the linear finite element method for anisotropic meshes generated with the metric tensors.Comment: 34 page

The geometry of r-adaptive meshes generated using optimal transport methods

The principles of mesh equidistribution and alignment play a fundamental role in the design of adaptive methods, and a metric tensor M and mesh metric are useful theoretical tools for understanding a methods level of mesh alignment, or anisotropy. We consider a mesh redistribution method based on the Monge-Ampere equation, which combines equidistribution of a given scalar density function with optimal transport. It does not involve explicit use of a metric tensor M, although such a tensor must exist for the method, and an interesting question to ask is whether or not the alignment produced by the metric gives an anisotropic mesh. For model problems with a linear feature and with a radially symmetric feature, we derive the exact form of the metric M, which involves expressions for its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are shown to be orthogonal and tangential to the feature, and the ratio of the eigenvalues (corresponding to the level of anisotropy) is shown to depend, both locally and globally, on the value of the density function and the amount of curvature. We thereby demonstrate how the optimal transport method produces an anisotropic mesh along a given feature while equidistributing a suitably chosen scalar density function. Numerical results are given to verify these results and to demonstrate how the analysis is useful for problems involving more complex features, including for a non-trivial time dependant nonlinear PDE which evolves narrow and curved reaction fronts

A Theoretical Model of a Molecular-Motor-Powered Pump

The motion of a cylindrical bead in a fluid contained within a two-dimensional channel is investigated using the boundary element method as a model of a biomolecular-motor-powered microfluidics pump. The novelty of the pump lies in the use of motor proteins (kinesin) to power the bead motion and the few moving parts comprising the pump. The performance and feasibility of this pump design is investigated using two model geometries: a straight channel, and a curved channel with two concentric circular walls. In the straight channel geometry, it is shown that increasing the bead radius relative to the channel width, increases the flow rate at the expense of increasing the force the kinesins must generate in order to move the bead. Pump efficiency is generally higher for larger bead radii, and larger beads can support higher imposed loads. In the circular channel geometry, it is shown that bead rotation modifies the force required to move the bead and that shifting the bead inward slightly reduces the required force. Bead rotation has a minimal effect on flow rate. Recirculation regions, which can develop between the bead and the channel walls, influence the stresses and force on the bead. These results suggest this pump design is feasible, and the kinesin molecules provide sufficient force to deliver pico- to atto- l/s flows.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44478/1/10544_2005_Article_6168.pd

Assessment of the Impact of Multiplicative Effects of Program and Project Management of Socio-Economic Development of Territories on the Anthropology of the Population

Основным показателем эффективности государственного и муниципального управления является динамика численности населения. Существующие подходы к оценке эффектов проектной деятельности ограничиваются прямолинейным счетом ключевых показателей: количество рабочих мест и поступления в бюджет. Это не позволяет в полной мере оценить влияние реализации проектов на функционирование отдельных направлений территориального развития. В статье рассмотрена возможность применения модели Лоури для оценки мультипликативных эффектов от реализации проектной деятельности в муниципальном образовании на изменение численности народонаселения территории в будущем. Этот инструмент позволит учесть возможное влияние всех эффектов, которые будут возникать в случае реализации проектовThe main indicator of the effectiveness of state and municipal government is the population dynamics. Existing approaches to evaluating the effects of project activities are limited to a straightforward calculation of key indicators: the number of jobs and budget revenues. This does not allow to fully assess the impact of project implementation on the functioning of certain areas of territorial development. The article considers the possibility of applying the Lowry model to assess the multiplier effects from the implementation of project activities in the municipality on the change in the population of the territory in the future. This tool will take into account the possible impact of all the effects that will arise in the case of the implementation of project
