Abstract:

The objective of the present study is the active flow control of blood in the aorta with atherosclerosis using an External Magnetic Field (EMF) in order to facilitate the blood flow. For that purpose, a numerical investigation has been developed with a Magneto-hydrodynamics flow modelisation. The blood is considered homogeneous, incompressible and Newtonian and the fluid flow is assumed to be unsteady, two-dimensional and laminar. The aorta tissue is electrically conductive. Fluent software has been used to solve the governing equations. The results relating to velocity, pressure and the wall shear stress indicate that the presence of the EMF considerably influences the blood flow. The flow control deals with the effects of the EMF direction of application and its intensity. The results show that by applying an EMF, the blood velocity and pressure in the aorta are entirely affected. The direction and the intensity of the EMF allow minimization of the flow instabilities due to the geometrical singularities. Therefore, applying an EMF can be considered an appropriate method for flow control in order to obtain a uniform blood circulation around the atherosclerosis.

Prediction of effective properties for multiphase composite is very important not only to analysis and optimization of material performance, but also to new material designs. In this paper, the effective elastic property of some complex particulate composites is analyzed and compared with numerical results, demonstrating the validity of the proposed approach. We propose the equivalent morphology concept for the numerical homogenization of random composites. In this study, this concept is extended for complex material. A home script based on Python codes is made to automate the generating of Representative volume element with various volume fraction.

In this paper, the study of precipitation reaction in the aluminum alloy known as AGS 6101. For the case of Cold drawn wires process in the open air space and at room temperature for two years, we inspect first the presence of precipitates in the microstructure and study the effect of heat treatment on the activation of this phenomenon [1]. The second objective of this work is to see the effect of natural and thermal aging on the microstructural evolution of cold-drawn aluminum wires (AGS) 6101 [2-5]. The characterization methods used in this work are optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction.
