Matrix Viscoelasticity Regulates Dendritic Cell Migration and Immune Priming

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Matrix viscoelasticity is a key mechanical feature of the tumor microenvironment but remains poorly understood in immune regulation. Here, we develop a tunable collagen platform to decouple viscoelasticity from stiffness and show that slow‐relaxing matrices constrain dendritic cell migration by limiting actomyosin‐driven matrix remodeling, thereby ...

A Dynamic 3D Human Liver Sinusoid Model for Mechanistic Interrogation of Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a perfusable 3D bioengineered liver sinusoid platform that integrates biofabrication, 3D cell culture, controlled hemodynamics, and multiparametric characterization to model Fontan‐associated liver disease. By decoupling pressure and hypoxia effects, the system reveals early mechanobiological and profibrotic responses under ...

Microscopic Investigation of Vortex Breakdown in a Dividing T-Junction Flow [PDF]

, 2018
3D-printed microfluidic devices offer new ways to study fluid dynamics. We present the first clear visualization of vortex breakdown in a dividing T-junction flow. By individual control of the inflow and two outflows, we decouple the effects of swirl and

Particle Image Velocimetry in practice

, 2009
Experimental fluid mechanics has for a long time been used to visualize flow phenomenon. An early pioneer was Ludwig Prandtl who used aluminum particles in water flumes to describe the flow in a qualitative manner. In line with the rapid development of Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, the need for new validation tools has increased.

Mixing‐Driven Defects and Composition Evolution in Multi‐Material Metal Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Operando synchrotron X‐ray imaging coupled with high‐fidelity multiphysics modeling uncovers how inter‐material mixing reshapes keyhole dynamics and drives distinct pore‐formation pathways in multi‐material laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Composition‐dependent instabilities trigger defects, whereas rescanning suppresses porosity and homogenizes Cu ...

X-Ray imaging method for in-situ study of particle-laden flows

e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
 The accurate measurement of flow parameters often depends on sensor accessibility. Optical flow assessment techniques, such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), are limited to optically transparent media. However,

Experimental and computational investigation on the macroscopic circulation patterns in a bubbling gas-solid fluidized bed [PDF]

, 2009
The hydrodynamics of a freely bubbling, pseudo 2-D fluidized bed has been investigated experimentally for different bed aspect ratios at different superficial gas velocities by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) combined with Digital Image Analysis ...

Computational fluid dynamics applied to gas-liquid contactors. [PDF]

, 1997
In this paper a `hierarchy of models¿ is discussed to study the fluid dynamic behaviour of gas-liquid bubble columns. This `hierarchy of models¿ consists of a Eulerian-Eulerian two fluid model, a Eulerian-Lagrangian discrete bubble model and a Volume ...

Flow characteristics and regime transitions in fluidization systems of Group C+ particles

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Fine and ultrafine particles are attractive for fluidized bed reactors because their high surface area benefits catalytic processes, but their cohesive nature complicates regime characterization. Nanoparticle modulation improves the flowability of Group C powders, yet their bubbling to turbulent transition remains unclear.
