Thrombus growth is a complex and multiscale process involving interactions spanning length scales from individual micron-sized platelets to macroscopic clots at the millimeter scale. Here, we describe a 3D multiscale framework to simulate thrombus growth under flow comprising four individually parallelized and coupled modules: a data-driven Neural ...
We develop the idea that a natural link between Boltzmann schemes and finite volumes exists naturally: the conserved mass and momentum during the collision phase of the Boltzmann scheme induces general expressions for mass and momentum fluxes. We treat a unidimensional case and focus our development in two dimensions on possible flux boundary condi...

In this paper, an adaptive mesh refinement technique is presented for simulation of compressible flows, which can effectively refine the mesh in the regions with shock waves and vortices. The present approach uses the total energy per unit volume as an indicator to capture the shock waves and vortical structures. In the approach, an h-refinement st...

A superconducting magnet system is developed for the application of high-frequency gyrotrons at Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center, China. The operating cost for the magnet is dominated by refrigeration power. To reduce the heat load for cryogenic systems, a pair of YBCO binary current leads is designed by consideration of the industrial con...

The study of patient-specific human arterial flow dynamics is well known to face challenges like a) apt geometric modelling, b) bifurcation zone meshing, and c) capturing the hemodynamic prone to variations with multiple disease complications. Due to aneurysms and stenosis in the same arterial network, the blood flow dynamics get affected, which ne...
The pressure-free two-fluid model (PFTFM) is a recent reformulation of the one-dimensional two-fluid model (TFM) for stratified incompressible flow in ducts (including pipes and channels), in which the pressure is eliminated through intricate use of the volume constraint. The disadvantage of the PFTFM was that the volumetric flow rate had to be spe...
This work details the development effort of the in-house, high-fidelity, fully coupled, fluid-thermal-structure interaction finite volume code, MBFLO3. A three-dimensional finite volume based structural solver capable of simulating arbitrarily large strains has been integrated into the existing fluid-thermal interaction code to develop a monolithic...

In this paper, we develop the cell-average based neural network (CANN) method to solve third order and fifth order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type equations. The CANN method is based on the weak or integral formulation of the partial differential equations. A simple feedforward network is forced to learn the cell average difference between two consecu...

This article presents a novel total Lagrangian cell-centered finite volume formulation of geometrically exact beams with arbitrary initial curvatures undergoing large displacements and finite rotations. The choice of rotation parameterization, the mathematical formulation of the beam kinematics, conjugate strain measures, and the linearization of t...

A microfluidic device, or a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC), performs lab operations on the microscale through the manipulation of fluids. The design and fabrication of such devices usually is a tedious process, and auxiliary tools, such as simulators, can alleviate the necessary effort for the design process. Simulations of fluids exist in various forms and c...
