Numerical study for blood flow in pulmonary arteries after repair of tetralogy of Fallot.

Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is a common phenomenon in pulmonary arteries in patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The regurgitation fraction of left pulmonary artery (LPA) is usually greater than right pulmonary artery (RPA) according to clinic data. It may be related to blood flow in pulmonary arteries.

Numerical investigation of regurgitation phenomena in pulmonary arteries of Tetralogy of Fallot patients after repair.

Pulmonary regurgitation is a very common phenomenon in pulmonary arteries after repair of patients of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) which is the most common complex congenital heart diseases. The aim of this study is to use numerical approaches to simulate flow variations in pulmonary artery after repair of patients of TOF. We analyze the flow patterns in an in-vitro bifurcation pulmonary artery and consider effects of various regurgitation fractions (RF or b/f) in left pulmonary artery (LPA) and right pulmonary artery (RPA).

Numerical investigation of turbulent diffusion in push-pull and exhaust fume cupboards.

The aim of this study is to investigate airflow motions and associated pollutant distributions in fume hoods. Currently, most exhaust fume hoods are designed to use an airflow induced by a fan at the top to remove pollutants. Ambient fluids are drawn, flowing toward the opening and subsequently turning to the outlet at the roof.

Numerical investigation and recommendations for push-pull ventilation systems.

This study presents numerical simulations of push-pull ventilation systems. A push-pull system is a device commonly used in capturing pollutants from large tanks used in industrial chemical processes. An air jet is blown from one side of a tank and collected by an exhaust hood on the opposite side of the tank.
