Three-dimensional human thermoregulation model based on pulsatile blood flow and heating mechanism

A three-dimensional thermoregulation mathematical model of temperature fluctuations for the human body is developed based on predecessors＇ thermal models. The following improvements are necessary in real situations： ellipsoids and elliptical cylinders are used to adequately approximate body geometry, divided into 18 segments and five layers; the core layer consists of the organs; the pulsation of the heart cycle, the pulsatile laminar flow, the peripheral resistance, and the thermal effect of food are considered. The model is calculated by adopting computational fluid dynamics（CFD） technology, and the results of the model match with the experimental data. This paper can give a reasonable explanation for the temperature fluctuations.

Analysis of periodic pulsating nanofluid flow and heat transfer through a parallel-plate channel in the presence of magnetic field

In this paper,we focus on the two-dimensional pulsating nanofluid flow through a parallel-plate channel in the presence of a magnetic field.The pulsating flow is produced by an applied pressure gradient that fluctuates with a small amplitude.A kind of proper transformation is used so that the governing equations describing the momentum and thermal energy are reduced to a set of non-dimensional equations.The analytical expressions of the pulsating velocity,temperature,and Nusselt number of nanofluids are obtained by the perturbation technique.In the present study,the effects of the Cu-H2O and Al_(2)O_(3)-H2O nanofluids on the flow and heat transfer in pulsating flow are compared and analyzed.The results show that the convective heat transfer effect of Cu-H2O nanofluids is better than that of Al_(2)O_(3)-H2O nanofluids.Also,the effects of the Hartmann number and pulsation amplitude on the velocity,temperature,and Nusselt number are examined and discussed in detail.The present work indicates that increasing the Hartmann number and pulsation amplitude can enhance the heat transfer of the pulsating flow.In addition,selecting an optimal pulsation frequency can maximize the convective heat transfer of the pulsating flow.Therefore,improved understanding of these fundamental mechanisms is conducive to the optimal design of thermal systems.

THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTION TO STOKES FLOW IN THE OBLATE SPHEROIDAL COORDINATES WITH APPLICATIONS TO MULTIPLES SPHEROID PROBLEMS

A new three-dimensional fundamental solution to the Stokes flow was proposed by transforming the solid harmonic functions in Lamb's solution into expressions in terms Of the oblate spheroidal coordinates. These fundamental solutions are advantageous in treating flows past an arbitrary number of arbitrarily positioned and oriented oblate spheroids. The least squares technique was adopted herein so that the convergence difficulties often encountered in solving three-dimensional problems were completely avoided. The examples demonstrate that present approach is highly accurate, consistently stable and computationally efficient. The oblate spheroid may be used to model a variety of particle shapes between a circular disk and a sphere. For the first time, the effect of various geometric factors on the forces and torques exerted on two oblate spheroids were systematically studied by using the proposed fundamental solutions. The generality of this approach was illustrated by two problems of three spheroids.

Three-Dimensional Tidal Model and Its Application to Numerical Simulation of Water Quality in Coastal Waters

The turbulence mechanism plays an important part in the mixing process and momentum transfer of turbulence. A three-dimensional Prandtl mixing length tidal model has been developed to simulate tidal flows and water quality. The eddy viscosities and diffusivities are computed from the Prandtl mixing length model. In order to model the water quality of an estuary or coastal area many interdependent processes need to be simulated. These may be conveniently separated into three main groups: transport and mixing processes, biochemical interaction of water quality variables and the utilization and re-cycling of nutrients by living matter. The model simulates full oxygen and nutrient balance, primary productivity and the transport, reaction mechanism and fate of pollutants over tidal time-scales. The model is applied to numerical simulation of tidal flows and water quality in Dalian Bay. The model has been calibrated against a limited data set of historical water quality observations and in general demonstrates excellent agreement with all available data.

MASS TRANSFER IN TURBULENT PULSATING FLOWS

The effect of flow oscillation to the mass transfer between turbulent fluid and solid wall was investigatedby measuring the mass transfer rate between fluid and pipe wall with imposed oscillating flow usingelectrochemical method.The velocity and concentration field in the viscous sublayer which controls the mass trans-fer in such a process was simulated by a simple wave model of single harmonics.Experimental results confirmthat the flow oscillation has no influene on time averaged mass transfer rate,but the phase difference betweenphase averaged velocity field and concentration field shifts with the frequency of imposed oscillating flow.Numeri-cal analysis reveals that the concentration boundarylayer which is responsible for the mass transfer is muchthinner than the viscous sublayer which greatly weakens the influence of imposed oscillating flow on mass transfer.

Prediction of Pulsation Frequency of Pulsing Flow in Trickle Beds Based on Artificial Neural Network

An extensive database (946 measurements) for the frequency of pulsing flow in trickle beds was established by collecting the experimental results published over past 30 years. A new correlation based on artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the pulsation frequency was developed. Seven dimensionless numbers (groups) employed in the proposed correlation were liquid and gas Reynolds, liquid Weber, liquid Eǒtvǒs, gas Froude, and gas Stokes numbers and a bed correction factor. The comparisons of performance reported in the of literature and present correlations show that ANN correlation is a significant improvement in predicting pulsation frequency with an average absolute relative error (AARE) of 10% and a standard deviation less than 18%.

Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of One Particle Migrating in a Pulsating Flow in Microvessel

A lattice Boltzmann model of two dimensions is used to simulate the movement of a single rigid particle suspended in a pulsating flow in micro vessel.The particle is as big as a red blood cell,and the micro vessel is four times as wide as the diameter of the particle.It is found that Segre-Silberberg effect will not respond to the pulsation of the flow when the Reynolds number is relatively high.However,when the Reynolds number is low enough,Segre-Silberberg effect disappears.In the steady flow,different initial position leads to different equilibrium positions.In a pulsating flow,different frequencies of pulsation also cause different equilibrium positions.ParticuJarJy,when the frequency of pulsation is closed to the human heart rate,Segre-Silberberg effect presents again.The evolutions of velocity,rotation, and trajectory of the particle are investigated to find the dynamics of such abnormal phenomenon.

Two-Phase Flow Modeling in a Single Closed Loop Pulsating Heat Pipes

Mathematical modeling of pulsating heat pipes through ‘first’ principles is a contemporary problem which remains quite elusive. Simplifications and assumptions made in all the modeling approaches developed so far render them unsuitable for engineering design. In this paper, a more realistic modeling scheme is presented which provides considerable try for thought toward the next progressive step. At high enough heat flux level, closed loop pulsating heat pipes experience a bulk internal unidirectional fluid circulation. Under such a condition, conventional two-phase flow modeling in capillary tubes may be applied. This has been attempted for single-loop PHPs. A homogeneous model and a separated two-fluid flow model based on simultaneous conservation of mass, momentum and energy, have been developed for an equivalent ‘open flow’ system. The model allows prediction of two-phase flow parameters in each sub-section of the device thereby providing important insights into its operation. The concept of ‘void fraction constraint’ in pulsating heat pipe operation is introduced and its relevance to future modeling attempts is outlined.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Viscoelastic Pipe Conveying Pulsating Fluid Subjected to Base Excitation

Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and Kelvin-Voigt model,a nonlinear model for the transverse vibration of a pipe under the combined action of base motion and pulsating internal flow is established.The governing partial differential equation is transformed into a nonlinear system of fourth-order ordinary differential equations by using the generalized integral transform technique(GITT).The effects of the combined excitation of base motion and pulsating internal flow on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the pipe are investigated using a bifurcation diagram,phase trajectory diagram,power spectrum diagram,time-domain diagram,and Poincare map.The results show that the base excitation amplitude and frequency significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the pipe system.Some new resonance phenomena can be observed,such as the period-1 motion under the base excitation or the pulsating internal flow alone becomes the multi-periodic motion,quasi-periodic motion or even chaotic motion due to the combined excitation action.
