Abstract:
Introduction to fluids, hydrostatics, introduction to fluid in motion;
integral relations for a control volume, change of mass, energy and momentum in control volume, the differential equations of the flow, viscous flow in pipes, boundary layers and external flow for steady incompressible laminar and turbulent flow.Abstract:
Each of the lab station focuses on one of the below lab subjects: strength of mechanical and biological material, biomechanical properties, flow variables in different physiological geometrics, and cardiovascular hemodynamics. The course includes an accumulation of skills in different measurement methods, calibration, error calculations signal, and image processing. Signal sampling and processing signals are based on the use of Matlab, FLIR Pro, and LabView software.Abstract:
Steady and pulsatile blood flow in rigid and compliant vessels,
collapsible tubes, propagation of pressure waves and reflections,
Blood rheology, blood flow characteristics, non-Newtonian models,
Fluid dynamics in small vessels, two-phase flow, Biological pumps,
Windkessel models of the aorta, The heart as a pump, pathologies, mass transfer, endothelial f?unction.Abstract:
Principles of numerical modeling, discretization and algebraic approximation of differential and integral equations; formulation of Finite difference method (FDM) and finite element method (FEM), time marching, convergence criteria, error estimation.
The process of simulation and reports, practical considerations and
relevant examples, coupled problems, non-linearity
The course includes practice on commercial software Ansys simulation.
