Numerical simulation of the blood flow through a pre-stenotic aneurysm in coronary artery: effects of varying heart rate.

The left anterior descending artery (LAD) is a significant coronary artery and a facilitator of oxygenated blood to the heart muscles. Thus, any occurrence of an aneurysm in LAD requires immediate medical attention. It is often inclined toward fatality if coupled with a blockage due to stenosis.

CFD analysis of the hyper-viscous effects on blood flow across abdominal aortic aneurysm in COVID patients: multiphysics approach.

Recent research has shown that individuals suffering from COVID-19 are accommodating an elevated level of blood viscosity due to the morphological changes in blood cells. As viscosity is a major flow parameter influencing the flow across a stenosis or an aneurysm, the examination of the significance of hyperviscosity in COVID patients is imperative in arterial pathologies. In this research, we have considered a patient-specific case in which the aneurysm is located along the abdominal aortal walls.

A 2D FSI mathematical model of blood flow to analyze the hyper-viscous effects in atherosclerotic COVID patients.

Recent researches on COVID 19 has been extended to analyze the various morphological and anatomical changes in a patient's body due to the invasion of the virus. These latest studies have concluded that there happens a high rise in the viscosity of the blood in a COVID 19 patient, supported by the extensive analysis of the clinical data. In the present paper, a mathematical model in the form of a differential equation system has been proposed to disclose the various changes that occur in the flow across the stenosis of an arterial segment.

Nanofiber-Based Substrate for a Triboelectric Nanogenerator: High-Performance Flexible Energy Fiber Mats.

Flexible and stretchable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are the next-generation systems for wearable and portable electronics. In this study, we have demonstrated an all nanofiber-based TENG for energy harvesting and biomechanical sensing applications. The TENG was prepared using the Forcespinning (FS) method to produce poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofiber (NF) membranes.
