RISOptimizing Jets for Active Control of Wake Refinement for Ground Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present study investigates active drag reduction of an Ahmed body with a rear slant angle of 25 deg. The drag is reduced by implementing slot jets on the rear slant and rear surface of the Ahmed body. Transient ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Cerebral Thromboembolism Risk in Ventricular Assist Device Patients: Effects of Pulsatility and Thrombus Origin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the hypothesis that by surgically manipulating the outflow graft (OG) implantation during ventricle assist device placement, it may be possible to reduce the risk of cerebral embolism. We investigate ...
Mathematical Modeling of Patient Specific Ventricular Assist Device Implantation to Reduce Particulate Embolization Rate to Cerebral Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stroke is the most devastating complication after ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation, with an incidence of 14%–47% despite improvements in device design and anticoagulation. This complication continues to limit ...
Experimental Study of Anisotropic Stress/Strain Relationships of Aortic and Pulmonary Artery Homografts and Synthetic Vascular Grafts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homografts and synthetic grafts are used in surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). Determining these materials' mechanical properties will aid in understanding tissue behavior when subjected to abnormal CHD hemodynamics. ...
