Extension of the finite volume particle method for fluid-structure interaction in cardiac valve prostheses
McLoone, Maryrose (NUI Galway, 2022-06-23)Cardiac valve prostheses are used to treat diseased native heart valves and failing prosthetic valves. Computational modelling methods have many applications in cardiovascular modelling, such as designing cardiac valve ... -
Investigation of fluid dynamics in a vibrating mesh nebulizer using the finite volume particle method
Hassanzadeh Moghimi, Mohsen (NUI Galway, 2020-12-17)In Aerogen aerosol drug delivery technology, an aperture plate vibrates at high frequency under a piezoelectric drive. Liquid drug stored on one side of the plate passes through the apertures to form an aerosol of microscopic ... -
Modelling shear-induced platelet aggregation in general flow
de Almeida Prado Hellmuth, Rudolf (2016-11-07)Blood-contacting biomedical devices are ubiquitous in current medical practice. Blood is very sensitive to non-physiological conditions, and it can be harmed by the biomedical device in a number of different ways. A very ...
