Abstract: The typical challenge encountered in developing heavy-oil reservoirs is inefficient wellbore lifting caused by complex multiphase flows. The literature on modeling of a hybrid artificial-lift (AL) system is relatively ...

Abstract: Rheological studies of lysed cell suspensions are performed with a magneto acoustic ball microrheometer. Two methods for lysing the cells are developed in order to provide cell volume concentrations ...

Abstract: The flow of a highly viscous drop surrounded by an inviscid fluid inside a tapered tube is analyzed according to a Newtonian, liquid-drop model in which a variational method is used to ...

Abstract: The adhesion of leukocytes to substrates is an important biomedical problem and has drawn extensive research. In this study, employing both single and compound drop models, we investigate how ...

Abstract: The fluid flow through a stenosed artery and its bypass graft in an anastomosis can substantially influence the outcome of bypass surgery. To help improve our understanding of this and related ...

Abstract: Many critical issues in biofluid dynamics occur at the boundaries between fluids, solids, or both. These issues can be very complex since in many cases the boundaries are deformable and moving. ...
