Displacement wave of the blood vessel —A mechanical model

According to clinical observations and model experiment, we have developed a theoretical model and obtained its mathematical equations to investigate the displacement wave of the blood vessel. The waveform and its occurrence criterion have been obtained by using perturbation theory and numerical method. The present study suggests that the displacement wave is associated with the blood velocity waveform and the machanical behaviour of the blood vessel, but not with the pressure waveform. The clinical criterion is in agreement with the observations.     

应力脉冲在SHPB实验中弥散效应的数值模拟与频谱分析

在评判不同材料的整形器对加载波形的改进效果的应用背景下,对比研究了不同形态的应力脉冲在霍普金森压杆(split Hopkinson pressure bar,SHPB)中的弥散效应。利用有限元软件LS-DYNA建立了杆件的三维有限元模型,在杆端分别施加矩形、三角形和半正弦形的应力脉冲,分析了波形振荡、前沿升时和应力峰值随传播距离的变化规律,并运用频谱分析的方法进行了理论解释。结果表明:三角应力脉冲和半正弦应力脉冲在各个方面都比传统的矩形应力脉冲表现出了更小的弥散效应;半正弦应力脉冲在传播过程中比三角应力脉冲更能控制其形态,能有效地减少弥散效应,提高Φ100mm SHPB实验精度,是岩石类非均质材料的理想加载波形;频谱分析的方法能从理论方面有效地解释应力脉冲信号在SHPB实验中的弥散现象。由此可见,波形整形设计的理想目标为具有较宽历时的半正弦应力脉冲。     

An improved correlation of the pressure drop in stenotic vessels using Lorentz’s reciprocal theorem

A mathematical model of the human cardiovascular system in conjunction with an accurate lumped model for a stenosis can provide better insights into the pressure wave propagation at pathological conditions. In this study, a theoretical relation between pressure drop and flow rate based on Lorentz’s reciprocal theorem is derived, which offers an identity to describe the relevance of the geometry and the convective momentum transport to the drag force. A voxelbased simulator V-FLOW VOF3 D, where the vessel geometry is expressed by using volume of fluid(VOF) functions, is employed to find the flow distribution in an idealized stenosis vessel and the identity was validated numerically. It is revealed from the correlation that the pressure drop of NS flow in a stenosis vessel can be decomposed into a linear term caused by Stokes flow with the same boundary conditions, and two nonlinear terms. Furthermore, the linear term for the pressure drop of Stokes flow can be summarized as a correlation by using a modified equation of lubrication theory, which gives favorable results compared to the numerical ones. The contribution of the nonlinear terms to the pressure drop was analyzed numerically, and it is found that geometric shape and momentum transport are the primary factors for the enhancement of drag force. This work paves a way to simulate the blood flow and pressure propagation under different stenosis conditions by using 1D mathematical model.

为了深入研究爆轰波形成和传播的机理与特性,建立了管内铝粉/空气二维黏性两相爆轰过程的数学模型,采用守恒元与求解元方法进行数值计算,并对其物理参数的分布进行了分析。结果表明:管内燃烧转爆轰的初期,压力沿径向变化明显,与壁面碰撞有明显的反射波;燃烧转爆轰的中后期,压力沿轴向变化明显,但径向效应仍不能忽视,碰撞形成的反射波对最终稳定爆轰波的形成影响较大。研究结果同时表明:不仅铝粉颗粒初始半径对爆轰波的形成与传播有一定的影响;而且气体的黏性作用在研究爆轰管内近壁面处流场时不容忽视。研究结果有利于进一步揭示铝粉燃烧转爆轰的机理。

脉搏波系统的力学模型及反演兼对若干中医学问题的讨论

对脉搏波进行客观化定量研究,是我们面临的跨中医与西医、跨医学与数理学科的新挑战,是中国传统医学现代化发展的重点研究课题之一.本文遵循中医整体观点的传统思路,把脉搏波系统理解为生命能量以波的形式在血液中传播的整个系统,从连续介质力学的波动理论出发,为脉搏波系统建立一个等价的力学模型,并把力学反演方法推广发展到脉搏波.指出脉搏波是压力波P（X,t）,质点速度波v（X,t）、比容波V（X,t）和内能波E（X,t）这些不同形式波动的总成.脉搏现象包含着血液的流动和在血液中以远快于血液流速之波速传播的携带能量的脉搏波.前者是人眼易见的实体血液的“物质流”,而后者是人眼不易见、以波的形式传播的“能量流”,可分别理解为中医的“血”和“气”.脉搏波的传播特性由反映生命体整体系统的本构方程决定,就其重要性和地位而言,系统本构方程与中医的体质相当,应探索其内在联系.初步讨论了脉搏波系统本构关系非线性效应和黏性效应对脉搏波特性的影响.      

Response of blood flow through an artery under stenotic conditions

This paper presents an analytical study on the behavoiur of blood flow in an artery having a stenosis. This is basically formulated through the use of a suitable mathematical model. The arterial segment under consideration is simulated by an anisotropically elastic cylindrical tube filled with a viscous incompressible fluid representing blood. The analysis is carried out for an artery with mild local narrowing in its lumen forming a stenosis. Particular emphasis has been paid to the effect of the surrounding connective tissues on the motion of the arterial wall. Blood is treated as a Newtonian fluid. The analysis is restricted to propagation of small amplitude harmonic waves, generated due to the flow of blood whose wave length is large compared to the radius of the arterial segment. The effect of the shape of stenosis on the resistance to blood flow has been well illustrated quantitatively through numerical computations of the resulting expressions. A quantitative analysis is also made for the variation of the phase velocity, as well as the velocity of wave propagation and the flow rate, in order to illustrate the applicability of the model.

虚拟质量力对酸性气体-钻井液两相流波速的影响

基于两流体模型、酸性气体和钻井液状态方程,考虑酸性气体与钻井液相间虚拟质量力、粘性剪切力、相间动量交换及狭义相间阻力等条件,建立酸性气体与钻井液两相中压力波传播速度的数学模型,依据小扰动原理,对波速模型求解,得到关于波数K的波速方程。结果表明,在一定范围内,随空隙率、频率的增大,虚拟质量力对波速的影响显著增强;在高空隙率下,压强增大,虚拟质量力对波速的影响减弱;增大流体的密度或不可压缩性,均可使两相压力波速增大;延长气液交换时间或减小波动频率使相间有足够时间进行动量交换,两相压力波波速随之减小。     

基于五阶WENO格式的燃气在药床中流动过程二维两相流研究

为研究内弹道初始阶段中心点火管燃气在膛内药床中的流动特性和传播规律,设计了可视化点传火实验平台,并进行了膛内假药床的点传火实验。基于加权本质无震荡(weighted essentially non-oscillatory, WENO)格式,构造了膛内轴对称二维内弹道两相流模型,对膛内燃气在假药床中的流动过程进行数值模拟。计算结果与可视化实验结果符合较好,全局压力平均误差为5.35%。表明数值计算准确地描述了燃气流动特性,完整地呈现了点火管燃气在假药床中的发展过程。在点火初始阶段,膛内压力径向效应明显,气相沿径向传播较快,药床药粒基本不会发生运动;随着燃气逐渐在膛内传播,膛内压力呈现径向一致、轴向梯度分布的特征,在压力梯度作用下,气相轴向速度开始占据主导,径向速度在膛底和中部区域减小为零,而固相速度随气相速度变化而变化;气相在到达弹底前,由于固相颗粒的壅塞,会提前出现速度反向波动现象。

The application of the Lattice Boltzmann method to the one-dimensional modeling of pulse waves in elastic vessels

The one-dimensional nonlinear equations for the blood flow motion in distensible vessels are considered using the kinetic approach. It is shown that the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for non-ideal gas is asymptotically equivalent to the blood flow equations for compliant vessels at the limit of low Knudsen numbers. The equations of state for non-ideal gas are transformed to the pressure-luminal area response. This property allows to model arbitrary pressure-luminal area relations. Several test problems are considered: the propagation of a sole nonlinear wave in an elastic vessel, the propagation of a pulse wave in a vessel with varying mechanical properties (artery stiffening) and in an artery bifurcation, in the last problem Resistor–Capacitor–Resistor (RCR) boundary conditions are considered. The comparison with the previous results shows a good precision.     

Experimental investigation of bubbly lubricated externally pressurized thrust bearings

Experimental results are presented for a bubbly lubricated externally pressurized circular thrust bearing. The data consists of the measured radial pressure distribution together with the lubricant mass flow rate over a wide range of inlet pressure, air mass flow rate ratio, for an either stationary or rotating bearing.It is shown that the air injection always improves the pressure distribution in the bearing and so can completely avoid the negative pressure generated due to rotational inertia. Also it is shown that the bearing load carrying capacity increases as the injected air mass flow increases, especially at high inlet pressure. The lubricant mass flow rate is reduced by the increase of air mass flow rate and by the decrease of bearing rotational speed.Finally the experimental results described in this paper are in good agreement with the mathematical analysis, based on the homogeneous flow model presented previously.     

Propagation of pressure waves in two-phase flow

We deal with a pressure wave of finite amplitude propagating in a gas and liquid medium or in the fluid in an elastic tube. We study the effects of pipe elasticity on the propagation velocity of the pressure wave. Pressure waves of finite amplitude progressing in the two-phase flow are treated considering the void fraction change due to pressure rise. The propagation velocity of the two-phase shock wave is also investigated, and the behavior of the reflection of the pressure wave at the rigid wall is analyzed and compared to that in a pure gas or liquid. The results are compared to experimental data of a pressure wave propagating in the two-phase flow in a vertical shock tube.     

含裂纹损伤充液圆柱壳的振动响应求解方法

薄壁圆柱壳流体冲击振动响应是一个复杂的流固耦合(FSI)动力学问题，对于薄壳状态监测与缺陷识别具有重要意义。基于Flügge壳体应力理论，得到壳体运动的高阶偏微分方程组(PDE)，利用波传播方法获得圆柱壳系统振动响应。将壳体周围流体定义为理想声学介质，通过亥姆霍兹方程描述声压场，得到流固耦合条件下的薄壁圆柱壳受迫振动响应演变规律。针对薄壳裂纹损伤识别问题，基于断裂力学理论建立局部柔度矩阵，结合呼吸型线弹簧模型(LSM)，构造裂纹附近应力及位移连续条件，获得含裂纹损伤充液圆柱壳的振动响应，进而给出一种基于振动能量流的裂纹损伤识别方法。研究结果表明：充液圆柱壳耦合系统在非线性激励下，位移响应在沿轴向、周向和径向的传播特性差异明显；裂纹的存在会导致结构局部柔度的降低和耦合系统固有频率下降；归一化输入功率流能够有效地对充液圆柱壳耦合系统进行结构裂纹损伤识别。研究结果可为充液薄壳振动响应方面的研究提供有益参考，也可为流固耦合条件下的结构裂纹损伤识别方面提供技术支持。     

血液-血管耦合特性与脉搏波传播特性的关系

脉搏波既不可简单地理解为可压缩血液流体中的压力纵波，也不可简单地理解为沿固体血管传播的涨缩位移横波，而是超乎普通想象的流-固耦合和纵波-横波耦合的复杂波。从分析耦合本构关系的新途径出发，本文中提出了一个流-固耦合/纵波-横波耦合的串联模型，可为解读“位数形势”中医脉诊提供更丰富的信息。结果表明，脉搏波耦合系统的等效体积压缩模量K_s以及相应的耦合系统脉搏波传播速度c_s主要依赖于两个无量纲参数:血液-血管模量比K_b(p)/E(p)和薄壁血管径厚比D(p)/h₀，它们因人而异、因人的不同脉搏位置而异。文中定量分析了它们对c_s的影响，显示人体的K_b/E值在103数量级，从而c_s值在100～101 m/s数量级，以适应人体生理生化反应。由临床有创测量，证实脉搏体积横波与脉搏压力纵波是相耦合地以相同速度传播；还显示脉搏波是在其波阵面上具有氧合生化反应的“生物波”。此外，还讨论了“脉压放大”现象与非线性本构关系和与血管分叉处加载增强反射之间的关系，并讨论了Lewis关于重搏波形成的假设。     

密度梯度柱壳链的弹性波传播特性研究

均匀圆柱壳链可以调控弹性波传播, 引入密度梯度有望进一步提高波形调控能力. 通过建立密度梯度柱壳链的细观有限元模型和连续介质模型, 研究了密度梯度柱壳链的弹性波传播特性. 通过将密度梯度柱壳链等效为变密度连续介质弹性杆, 建立了其在应力脉冲作用下的控制方程. 运用拉普拉斯积分变换方法, 考虑杆中密度遵循线性分布, 获得了方程的解析解. 以三角形应力脉冲作用为例, 通过与细观有限元模拟结果比较, 发现解析解可以较好地预测梯度柱壳链中载荷的演化趋势. 正梯度链中载荷峰值随着波传播逐渐增大, 负梯度链中载荷峰值随着波传播逐渐减小. 正梯度链支撑端峰值载荷高于均匀链, 负梯度链支撑端峰值载荷低于均匀链, 这表明相较于均匀柱壳链, 密度梯度柱壳链可以在更大范围内对波形进行调控. 线性密度梯度参数对梯度柱壳链的波形调控能力影响较大, 梯度参数越小, 传递到支撑端的峰值载荷越小; 相反, 梯度参数越大, 支撑端的峰值载荷越大. 建立的理论模型及其解析解为研究梯度柱壳链中应力波传播规律及揭示载荷调控机理提供了理论基础.

Indoor propagation and assessment of blast waves from weapons using the alternative image theory

Blast waves generated from the muzzles of various weapons might have significant effects on the human body, and these effects are recognized as being more severe when weapons are fired indoors. The risk can be assessed by various criteria, such as waveform, exposed energy, and model-based types. This study introduces a prediction model of blast wave propagation for estimating waveform parameters related to damage risk assessment. To simulate indoor multiple reflections in a simple way, the model is based on the alternative image theory and discrete wavefront method. The alternative theory is a kind of modified image theory, but it uses the image space concept from a receiver’s perspective, so that it shows improved efficiency for indoor problems. Further, the discrete wavefront method interprets wave propagation as the forward movement of a finite number of wavefronts. Even though the predicted results show slight differences from the measured data, the locations of significant shock waves indicate a high degree of correlation between them. Since the disagreement results not from the proposed techniques but from the assumptions used, it is concluded that the model is appropriate for analysis of blast wave propagation in interior spaces.     

Analytical Solution for Isothermal Flow in a Shock Tube Containing Rigid Granular Material

Analytical solution of shock wave propagation in pure gas in a shock tube is usually addressed in gas dynamics. However, such a solution for granular media is complex due to the inclusion of parameters relating to particles configuration within the medium, which affect the balance equations. In this article, an analytical solution for isothermal shock wave propagation in an isotropic homogenous rigid granular material is presented, and a closed-form solution is obtained for the case of weak shock waves. Fluid mass and momentum equations are first written in wave and (mathematical) non-conservation forms. Afterwards by redefining the sound speed of the gas flowing inside the pores, an analytical solution is obtained using the classical method of characteristics, followed by Taylor’s series expansion based on the assumption of weak flow which finally led to explicit functions for velocity, density and pressure. The solution enables plotting gas velocity, density and pressure variations in the porous medium, which is of high interest in the design of granular shock isolators.
