Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Fluid Motion and Volumetric Gas-Liquid Mass Transfer in Agitated Platelet Concentrate Storage. [PDF]
Biotechnol JGraphical Abstract and Lay Summary Platelets (PLTs) are small blood cells that play a vital role in stopping bleeding. After donation, they are stored in special bags, but their quality decreases over time. One reason for this decline is the mechanical stress they experience during collection, processing, and storage.

Hybrid VOF–Lagrangian CFD Modeling of Droplet Aerobreakup
Applied Sciences, 2022 A hybrid VOF–Lagrangian method for simulating the aerodynamic breakup of liquid droplets induced by a traveling shock wave is proposed and tested. The droplet deformation and fragmentation, together with the subsequent mist development, are predicted by using a fully three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model following the unsteady Reynolds ...
