A lattice Boltzmann study of the non-Newtonian blood flow in stented aneurysm

Kim Y.H., Farhat S., Lee J.S., Wayne State University, US

The treatment of cerebral aneurysms with a minimally invasive porous stent has recently been proposed to prevent rupture and favor coagulation mechanism inside the aneurysm. But, an irregularly shaped and wide-necked aneurysm makes current stent [...]

Chaotic flows in microchannels: A lattice Boltzmann study

Varnik F., Raabe D., Max-Planck Institut fuer Eisenforschung, DE

Lubricant flows are usually assumed to be laminar and the lubricatedmetallic surfaces are anticipated to be perfectly flat and references therein). Both assumptions are incorrectwhen it comes to a detailed analysis. Indeed, metallic surfaces arenever [...]
