Extension of the finite volume particle method to viscous flow
(Elsevier, 2009-03-20)
The finite volume particle method (FVPM) is a mesh-free method for fluid dynamics which allows simple and accurate implementation of boundary conditions and retains the conservation and consistency properties of classical ...
Models of flow-induced loading on blood cells in laminar and turbulent flow, with application to cardiovascular device flow
(Springer, 2007-08)
Viscous shear stress and Reynolds stress are often used to predict hemolysis and thrombosis due to flow-induced stress on blood elements in cardiovascular devices. These macroscopic stresses are distinct from the true ...
Effect of eddy length scale on mechanical loading of blood cells in turbulent flow
(2009)
Non-physiological turbulent blood flow is known to occur in and near implanted cardiovascular devices, but its effects on blood are poorly understood.
The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of turbulent ...
Permeable and Non-reflecting Boundary Conditions in SPH
(Wiley, 2009-11)
Inflow and outflow boundary conditions are essential for the application of computational fluid dynamics to many engineering scenarios. In this paper we present a new boundary condition implementation that enables the ...
Truncation error in mesh-free particle methods
(2006-06-25)
A truncation error analysis has been developed for the approximation of spatial derivatives in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and related first-order consistent methods such as the first-order form of the reproducing ...
Groupware architecture for R&D managers
(2004)
The business environment is changing at an accelerated pace. Contemporary business systems are becoming more knowledge intensive. This is particularly evident in areas such as product innovation where knowledge centric ...
A groupware system for virtual product innovation management
(Wiley Interscience, 2007)
We
are experiencing a radical shift in the way organisations are designed,
structured and organised. New organisational forms such as virtual strategic
partnerships and networks are replacing traditional bureaucratic, ...
Finite element modelling of damage in superplastic forming of a titanium alloy
(Springer Verlag, 2009-12-15)
This paper describes the application of a continuum damage mechanics methodology to the prediction of failure during superplastic forming of Ti-6Al-4V. A power law constitutive relationship is employed within a geometrically ...
Value chain migration from production to product centred operations: an analysis of the Irish medical device industry
(2006)
The medical device industry in Ireland is largely confined to manufacturing operations. This narrow focus limits the competitiveness of the industry in Ireland and consequently poses a threat to development and growth. ...
