Perspective: The Experimentalist and the Problem of Turbulence in the Age of Supercomputers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the rising capabilities of computational fluid mechanics (CFD), the role of the experimentalist in solving the problem of turbulence has come under serious question. However, after much ...
Vortex Shedding as a Mechanism for Free Emboli Formation in Mechanical Heart Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The high incidence of thromboembolic complications of mechanical heart valves (MHV) limits their success as permanent implants. The thrombogenicity of all MHV is primarily due to platelet activation ...
The Application of Advanced Methods in Analyzing the Performance of the Air Curtain in a Refrigerated Display Case
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is effectively coupled with the experimental technique of Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV), to study the flowfield characteristics and performance ...
