Background: Vortex flow in the left ventricle (LV) has three-dimensional structure and plays an important role in avoiding excessive dissipation of energy. However, quantitative characteristics of long and short axis (LAX and SAX) vortex flow have not been elucidated. Echocardiographic particle image velocimetry (Echo-PIV) is an emerging technique to evaluate instantaneous vortical flow inside the LV. However, it has a limitation of underestimation of high velocities due to limited frame rate. Moreover, previous investigations have mainly focused on vortex from LAX view. Therefore, we used high frame rate Echo-PIV to quantitate vortex flow in SAX as well as in LAX views to understand characteristics of vortex three-dimensionally. Methods: Echocardiographic contrast images of the LV SAX and LAX were acquired from 8 open-chest healthy dogs. The acquisition frame rate was 135 frames per second and the contrast bubbles density was optimized for blood flow analysis. Echo-PIV analysis was performed off-line by using commercially available software and vorticity data were calculated in the region of interest (ROI) throughout the cardiac cycle. ROI was manually placed on the vortex. Vortex strength was defined as the averaged vorticity within the ROI. Results: In SAX, counterclockwise vortex was seen near the anterior wall, and in LAX clockwise vortex was seen in the anterior mid-ventricle. Both in SAX and LAX views, vortex strength showed significant phasic variations being largest in isovolumic contraction (vortex strength, SAX 9.2±2.3/s, p<0.001; LAX -12.0±2.4/s, p<0.001), and smallest in isovolumic relaxation (SAX -0.8±0.8/s, p<0.001; LAX -1.9±1.9/s, p<0.001). Conclusion: High frame rate Echo-PIV successfully demonstrated a complicated pattern of intracardiac vortex with phasic variation of its strength throughout a cardiac cycle in both SAX and LAX. This method may be a useful tool to assess physiological role of vortex in the flow dynamics.

Understanding the mechanisms and physics of flame stabilization and blowoff of premixed flames is critical toward the design of high velocity combustion devices. In the high bulk flow velocity situation typical of practical combustors, the flame anchors in shear layers where the local flow velocities are much lower. Within the shear layer, fluid strain deformation rates are very high and the flame can be subjected to significant stretch levels. The main goal of this work was to characterize the flow and stretch conditions that a premixed flame experiences in a practical combustor geometry and to compare these values to calculated extinction values. High resolution, simultaneous particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser induced fluorescence of CH radicals (CH-PLIF) measurements are used to capture the flame edge and near-field stabilization region. When approaching lean limit extinction conditions, we note characteristic changes in the stretch and flow conditions experienced by the flame. Most notably, the flame becomes less critically stretched when fuel/air ratio is decreased. However, at these lean conditions, the flame is subject to higher mean flow velocities at the edge, suggesting less favorable flow conditions are present at the attachment point of the flame as blowoff is approached. These measurements suggest that blowoff of the flame from the shear layer is not directly stretch extinction induced, but rather the result of an imbalance between the speed of the flame edge and local tangential flow velocity.
