Abstract: Aneurysms are localized expansions of weakened blood vessels that can be debilitating or fatal upon rupture. Previous studies have shown that flow in an aneurysm exhibits complex flow structures that are correlated with ...

Abstract: The principal purpose of this study is to understand the entropy generation rate in bypass, transitional, boundary-layer flow better. The experimental work utilized particle image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking ...

Abstract: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics are thought to play a vital role in central nervous system (CNS) physiology. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of spinal cord (SC) nerve roots (NR) on CSF dynamics. ...

Abstract: Modelbased systems engineering (MBSE) with SysML has become one of the best solutions to the system design of complex systems, which usually requires the collaboration of different disciplines. Webbased collaborative ...

Abstract: A detailed quantification and understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics may improve detection and treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases and help optimize CSF system-based delivery of CNS therapeutics. ...

Abstract: This study presents an application of horizontal spoil discharge jet-grouting (SDJG) columns in soil improvement between the new undercrossing tunnels and the existing tunnels in Changsha, China. To investigate the impact ...

Abstract: The mechanism of an existing tunnel on the evolution of soil arching effect is not fully understood. This study systematically investigates the issue via a validated FEM with consideration of the distance between the ...
