Flow in the well: computational fluid dynamics is essential in flow chamber construction.

ABSTRACT: A perfusion system was developed to generate well defined flow conditions within a well of a standard multidish. Human vein endothelial cells were cultured under flow conditions and cell response was analyzed by microscopy. Endothelial cells became elongated and spindle shaped. As demonstrated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), cells were cultured under well defined but time varying shear stress conditions. A damper system was introduced which reduced pulsatile flow when using volumetric pumps. The flow and the wall shear stress distribution were analyzed by CFD for the steady and unsteady flow field. Usage of the volumetric pump caused variations of the wall shear stresses despite the controlled fluid environment and introduction of a damper system. Therefore the use of CFD analysis and experimental validation is critical in developing flow chambers and studying cell response to shear stress. The system presented gives an effortless flow chamber setup within a 6-well standard multidish.

Intra-Cardiac Flow from Geometry Prescribed Computational Fluid Dynamics: Comparison with Ultrasound Vector Flow Imaging.

Project description:PurposeThis paper investigates the accuracy of blood flow velocities simulated from a geometry prescribed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) pipeline by applying it to a dynamic heart phantom. The CFD flow patterns are compared to a direct flow measurement by ultrasound vector flow imaging (VFI). The hypothesis is that the simulated velocity magnitudes are within one standard deviation of the measured velocities.MethodsThe CFD pipeline uses computed tomography angiography (CTA) images with 20 volumes per cardiac cycle as geometry input. Fluid domain movement is prescribed from volumetric image registration using the CTA image data. Inlet and outlet conditions are defined by the experimental setup. VFI is systematically measured in parallel planes, and compared to the corresponding planes in the simulated time dependent three dimensional fluid velocity field.ResultsThe measured VFI and simulated CFD have similar flow patterns when compared qualitatively. A quantitative comparison of the velocity magnitude is also performed at specific regions of interest. These are evaluated at 11 non-overlapping time bins and compared by linear regression giving R2 = 0.809, SD = 0.060 m/s, intercept = - 0.039 m/s, and slope = 1.09. Excluding an outlier at the inlet, the correspondence between CFD and VFI improves to: R2 = 0.823, SD = 0.048 m/s, intercept = -0.030 m/s, and slope = 1.01.ConclusionThe direct comparison of flow patterns shows that the proposed CFD pipeline provide realistic flow patterns in a well-controlled experimental setup. The demanded accuracy is obtained close to the inlet and outlet, but not in locations far from these.

Continuous flow synthesis of a pharmaceutical intermediate: a computational fluid dynamics approach.

Project description:Continuous flow chemistry has the potential to greatly improve efficiency in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs); however, the optimization of these processes can be complicated by a large number of variables affecting reaction success. In this work, a screening design of experiments was used to compare computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with experimental results. CFD simulations and experimental results both identified the reactor residence time and reactor temperature as the most significant factors affecting product yield for this reaction within the studied design space. A point-to-point comparison of the results showed absolute differences in product yield as low as 2.4% yield at low residence times and up to 19.1% yield at high residence times with strong correlation between predicted and experimental percent yields. CFD was found to underestimate the product yields at low residence times and overestimate at higher residence times. The correlation in predicted product yield and the agreement in identifying significant factors in reaction performance reveals the utility of CFD as a valuable tool in the design of continuous flow tube reactors with significantly reduced experimentation.

Understanding Angiography-Based Aneurysm Flow Fields through Comparison with Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Project description:Background and purposeHemodynamics is thought to be an important factor for aneurysm progression and rupture. Our aim was to evaluate whether flow fields reconstructed from dynamic angiography data can be used to realistically represent the main flow structures in intracranial aneurysms.Materials and methodsDSA-based flow reconstructions, obtained during interventional treatment, were compared qualitatively with flow fields obtained from patient-specific computational fluid dynamics models and quantitatively with projections of the computational fluid dynamics fields (by computing a directional similarity of the vector fields) in 15 cerebral aneurysms.ResultsThe average similarity between the DSA and the projected computational fluid dynamics flow fields was 78% in the parent artery, while it was only 30% in the aneurysm region. Qualitatively, both the DSA and projected computational fluid dynamics flow fields captured the location of the inflow jet, the main vortex structure, the intrasaccular flow split, and the main rotation direction in approximately 60% of the cases.ConclusionsSeveral factors affect the reconstruction of 2D flow fields from dynamic angiography sequences. The most important factors are the 3-dimensionality of the intrasaccular flow patterns and inflow jets, the alignment of the main vortex structure with the line of sight, the overlapping of surrounding vessels, and possibly frame rate undersampling. Flow visualization with DSA from >1 projection is required for understanding of the 3D intrasaccular flow patterns. Although these DSA-based flow quantification techniques do not capture swirling or secondary flows in the parent artery, they still provide a good representation of the mean axial flow and the corresponding flow rate.

Design and computational fluid dynamics investigation of a personal, high flow inhalable sampler.

Project description:The objective of this research was to develop an inlet to meet the inhalable sampling criterion at 10 l min(-1) flow using the standard, 37-mm cassette. We designed a porous head for this cassette and evaluated its performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. Particle aspiration efficiency was simulated in a wind tunnel environment at 0.4 m s(-1) freestream velocity for a facing-the-wind orientation, with sampler oriented at both 0 degrees (horizontal) and 30 degrees down angles. The porous high-flow sampler oriented 30 degrees downward showed reasonable agreement with published mannequin wind tunnel studies and humanoid CFD investigations for solid particle aspiration into the mouth, whereas the horizontal orientation resulted in oversampling. Liquid particles were under-aspirated in all cases, however, with 41-84% lower aspiration efficiencies relative to solid particles. A sampler with a single central 15-mm pore at 10 l min(-1) was also investigated and was found to match the porous sampler's aspiration efficiency for solid particles; the single-pore sampler is expected to be more suitable for liquid particle use.

Predicting Flow Reversals in a Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulated Thermosyphon Using Data Assimilation.

Project description:A thermal convection loop is a annular chamber filled with water, heated on the bottom half and cooled on the top half. With sufficiently large forcing of heat, the direction of fluid flow in the loop oscillates chaotically, dynamics analogous to the Earth's weather. As is the case for state-of-the-art weather models, we only observe the statistics over a small region of state space, making prediction difficult. To overcome this challenge, data assimilation (DA) methods, and specifically ensemble methods, use the computational model itself to estimate the uncertainty of the model to optimally combine these observations into an initial condition for predicting the future state. Here, we build and verify four distinct DA methods, and then, we perform a twin model experiment with the computational fluid dynamics simulation of the loop using the Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (ETKF) to assimilate observations and predict flow reversals. We show that using adaptively shaped localized covariance outperforms static localized covariance with the ETKF, and allows for the use of less observations in predicting flow reversals. We also show that a Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) of the temperature and velocity fields recovers the low dimensional system underlying reversals, finding specific modes which together are predictive of reversal direction.

Computational fluid dynamics simulate optimal design of segmental arteries reattachment: Influence of blood flow stagnation.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to simulate blood flow stagnation using computational fluid dynamics and to clarify the optimal design of segmental artery reattachment for thoracoabdominal aortic repair.MethodsBlood flow stagnation, defined by low-velocity volume or area of the segmental artery, was simulated by a 3-dimensional model emulating the systolic phase. Four groups were evaluated: direct anastomosis, graft interposition, loop-graft, and end graft. Based on contemporary clinical studies, direct anastomosis can provide a superior patency rate than other reattachment methods. We hypothesized that stagnation of the blood flow is negatively associated with patency rates. Over time, velocity changes were evaluated.ResultsThe direct anastomosis method led to the least blood flow stagnation, whilst the end-graft reattachment method resulted in worse blood flow stagnation. The loop-graft method was comparatively during late systole, which was also influenced by configuration of the side branch. Graft interposition using 20 mm showed a low-velocity area in the distal part of the side graft. When comparing length and diameter of an interposed graft, shorter and smaller branches resulted in less blood flow stagnation.ConclusionsIn our simulation, direct anastomosis of the segmental artery resulted in the most efficient design in terms of blood flow stagnation. A shorter (<20 mm) and smaller (<10 mm) branch should be used for graft interposition. Loop-graft is an attractive alternative to direct anastomosis; however, its blood flow pattern can be influenced.

In vivo hepatic flow distribution by computational fluid dynamics can predict pulmonary flow distribution in patients with Fontan circulation.

Project description:In Fontan patients, a lung deprived of hepatic blood may develop pulmonary arterio-venous malformations (PAVMs) resulting in shunting, reduced pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and decreased oxygenation. To provide guidance for corrective invasive interventions, we aimed to non-invasively determine how the hepatic to pulmonary blood flow balance correlates with pulmonary flow, PVR, and with oxygen saturation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from eighteen Fontan patients (eight females, age 3-14 years) was used to construct patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to calculate the hepatic to pulmonary blood flow. This was correlated with pulmonary vein flow, simulated PVR and oxygen saturation. Clinical applicability of the findings was demonstrated with an interventional patient case. The hepatic to pulmonary blood flow balance correlated with right/left pulmonary vein flow (R2 = 0.50), left/right simulated PVR (R2 = 0.47), and oxygen saturation at rest (R2 = 0.56). In the interventional patient, CFD predictions agreed with post-interventional MRI measurements and with regressions in the cohort. The balance of hepatic blood to the lungs has a continuous effect on PVR and oxygen saturation, even without PAVM diagnosis. MRI combined with CFD may help in planning of surgical and interventional designs affecting the hepatic to pulmonary blood flow balance in Fontan patients.

Machine learning-accelerated computational fluid dynamics.

Project description:Numerical simulation of fluids plays an essential role in modeling many physical phenomena, such as weather, climate, aerodynamics, and plasma physics. Fluids are well described by the Navier-Stokes equations, but solving these equations at scale remains daunting, limited by the computational cost of resolving the smallest spatiotemporal features. This leads to unfavorable trade-offs between accuracy and tractability. Here we use end-to-end deep learning to improve approximations inside computational fluid dynamics for modeling two-dimensional turbulent flows. For both direct numerical simulation of turbulence and large-eddy simulation, our results are as accurate as baseline solvers with 8 to 10× finer resolution in each spatial dimension, resulting in 40- to 80-fold computational speedups. Our method remains stable during long simulations and generalizes to forcing functions and Reynolds numbers outside of the flows where it is trained, in contrast to black-box machine-learning approaches. Our approach exemplifies how scientific computing can leverage machine learning and hardware accelerators to improve simulations without sacrificing accuracy or generalization.
