METHODS： Using the finite element method, two different Billroth fl procedure cases （A and B） were modeled. Case A was defined with a shorter and almost straight duodenal section, while case B has a much longer and curved duodenal section. Velocity, pressure and food concentration distribution were determined and the numerical results were compared with experimental observations. RESULTS： The pressure distribution obtained by numerical simulation was in the range of the recorded experimental results. Case A had a more favorable pressure distribution in comparison with case B. However, case B had better performance in terms of food transport because of more continual food distribution, as well as better emptying of the duodena section. CONCLUSION： This study offers insight into the transport process within the duodenal stump section after surgical intervention, which can be useful for future patient-specific predictions of a surgical outcome.展开更多

The diffusion bound in anisotropic plaases is also studied. Ultimately, it is concluded that shear viscosity violation always occurs in cases where the equation of motion of the metric fluctuations cannot be written in a form identical to that of the minimally coupled massless scalar fields.展开更多

The simulation results indicate that material melts earlier at lower pressure （8.0 Pa） than at higher pressure （8.8x 104 Pa） in several milliseconds with the same laser fluence. The experimental results demonstrate that the melting time threshold at high laser fluence （above 1.89x 108 W/m2） is shorter for lower pressure （vacuum）, which is consistent with the simulation. While the melting time threshold at low laser fluence （below 1.89x 108 W/m2） is shorter for higher pressure. The possible aspects which can affect the melting process in- clude the increased heat loss induced by the heat conduction between the metal surface and the ambient gas with the increased pressure, and the absorption variation of the coarse surface resulted from the chemical reaction.展开更多
