Recirculating Flow

Hot-wire measurements of second- and third-order mean products of velocity fluctuations have been made in the flow behind a backward-facing step with a thin, laminar boundary layer at the top of the step. Measurements extend to a distance of about 12 step heights downstream of the step, and include parts of the recirculating-flow region: approximate limits of validity of hot-wire results are given. The Reynolds number based on step height is about 105, the mixing layer being fully turbulent (fully three-dimensional eddies) well before reattachment, and fairly close to self-preservation in contrast to the results of some previous workers. Rapid changes in turbulence quantities occur in the reattachment region: Reynolds shear stress and triple products decrease spectacularly, mainly because of the confinement of the large eddies by the solid surface. The terms in the turbulent energy and shear stress balances also change rapidly but are still far from the self-preserving boundary-layer state even at the end of the measurement region.

Gel Transition

In recent decades, three dimensional (3D) bio-printing technology has found widespread use in tissue engineering applications. The aim of this study is to scrutinize different parameters of the bioprinter – with the help of simulation software – to print a hydrogel so much so that avoid high amounts of shear stress which is detrimental for cell viability and cell proliferation. Rheology analysis was done on several hydrogels composed of different percentages of components: alginate, collagen, and gelatin. The results have led to the combination of percentages collagen:alginate:gelatin (1:4:8)% as the best condition which makes sol-gel transition at room temperature possible. The results have shown the highest diffusion rate and cell viability for the cross-linked sample with 1.5% CaCl2 for the duration of 1 h. Finally, we have succeeded in printing the hydrogel that is mechanically strong with suitable degradation rate and cell viability.

Using a data correlation for the wall stress associated with very rough boundaries and a semi-empirical calculation method, the shape of boundary layers in exact equilibrium with the roughness beneath them is calculated. A wide range of roughness geometries (two- and three-dimensional elements) is included by the use of equivalent surfaces of equal drag per unit area. Results can be summarized in a single figure which relates the shape factor of the boundary layer (its exponent if it has a power law velocity profile) to the height of the roughness elements and their spacing. New data for one turbulent boundary layer developing over a long fetch of uniform roughness is presented. Wall shear stress, measured directly from a drag plate is combined with boundary layer integral properties to show that the shear stress correlation adopted is reasonably accurate and that the boundary layer is close to equilibrium after passing over a streamwise roughness fetch equal to about 350 times the roughness element height. An example is given of the way in which roughness geometry may be chosen from calculated equilibrium results, for one particular boundary layer thickness and a shape useful for simulating strong atmospheric winds in a wind tunnel.

Lower Urinary

In this work, a preliminary numerical simulation of the lower urinary system using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is performed. Very few studies have been done on the simulation of three-dimensional urine through the lower urinary system. In this study, a simplified lower urinary model with rigid body assumption is proposed. The distributions of urine flow velocity, wall pressure and shear stress along the urethra are simulated based on MRI scanned uroflowmetry of a normal female. Numerical results show that violent secondary flows appear on the cross surface near the end of the urethra when the inflow rate is increased. The oscillative variation of pressure and shear stress distributions are found around the beginning section of the urethra when flow rate is at the peak value.
