Reduced-order models (ROMs) have been widely adopted in fluid mechanics, particularly in the context of Newtonian fluid flows. These models offer the ability to predict complex dynamics, such as instabilities and oscillations, at a considerably reduced computational cost. In contrast, the reduced-order modelling of non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid flows remains relatively unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of microneedling (MN) therapy on acne scars (AS) by measuring skin elasticity before and after the treatment using a technique called shear wave elastography (SWE).
  • - Results showed a significant improvement in skin elasticity following MN treatment, along with a notable decrease in AS severity scores in the patient group.
  • - The findings suggest that SWE is a reliable method for assessing skin elasticity and could be beneficial in evaluating outcomes after dermatological treatments like MN.
