Pelumasan pada sambungan tulang panggul buatan (artificial hip joint) diperlukan untuk menjaga reliabilitas dan  umur  pakai  komponen  prostesis  ini  ketika  digunakan  oleh  pengguna.  Berdasarkan tinjauan  pustaka, kebanyakan studi tentang sambungan tulang panggul buatan mengasumsikan kondisi tanpa pelumas (synovial fluid), sehingga bisa mengakibatkan kesimpulan penelitian yang keliru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh keberadaan pelumas pada sambungan tulang panggul buatan terhadap karakteristik pelumasan, serta struktur dari komponen penyusun sambungan. Untuk memperoleh hasil yang akurat, teknik CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) dan FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) digunakan untuk menganalisis mekanisme pelumasan elastohydrodynamic pada sambungan. Fokus penelitian ini adalah analisis karakteristik sambungan tulang panggul buatan yang bergerak saat pengguna melakukan gerakan sujud dalam salat. Seperti diketahui, pengguna sambungan tulang panggul buatan disarankan oleh para dokter untuk membatasi gerakan ekstrim yang dapat merusak sambungan buatan ini. Gerakan tersebut misalnya jongkok, berlari, dan beberapa gerakan salat. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa untuk meningkatkan keakuratan hasil analisis sambungan tulang panggul buatan dalam tubuh, maka pelumas synovial fluid sangat penting untuk dipertimbangkan dan dimodelkan. Selain itu, keberadaan pelumas ini saat gerakan sujud terbukti membantu mencegah kontak antar permukaan sehingga kemungkinan terjadinya tubrukan (impingement) antar komponen dapat dicegah.

Air–fuel ratio control of large-bore, two-stroke, natural gas engines, typically used in the oil and gas field, is critically important to maintain stable operation and emission compliance. Many two-stroke applications rely on reed valves to control air and gas induction, which can involve complicated gas flow behavior; standard gas dynamic relationships are typically insufficient to characterize such behavior. Computational fluid dynamic simulations offer the needed complexity, but even so the computational fluid dynamic models, as shown in this work, must also capture the dynamic behavior of the valves themselves. The current work reports on a computational fluid dynamics–based model representing this type of large-bore, two-stroke, natural gas engine using commercially available computational fluid dynamic software. The engine under study is an AJAX E-565 with rated power of 30 kW (40 HP), a bore of 216 mm (8½″), and a stroke of 254 mm (10″). The large engine geometry makes a relatively large solution domain, hence requiring an intense, time-consuming numerical investigation. This large-bore engine works at a rated speed of 525 RPM with a compression ratio of 6 to 1. Two approaches to modeling the reed valve are investigated: (1) a pressure difference–based user-defined function and (2) a fluid–structure interaction user-defined function. The pressure difference–based user-defined function captures reed valve behavior in a simple, binary fashion (i.e. valves are either open or closed based on the pressure difference between the intake pipe and the engine’s stuffing box). The fluid–structure interaction user-defined function, however, predicts the motion of the reed valve strips based on fluid and body motions; although a more complex solution, the fluid–structure interaction user-defined function accurately predicts the engine’s gas exchange process. In this article, the results of each method are presented and validated to show that the added complexity is necessary to properly predict (and thus eventually improve) the engine’s air–fuel ratio control.

Pressure losses at the cylinder valves of reciprocating compressors are generally calculated by the classical equation of the flow through an orifice, with flow coefficient determined in steady conditions. Rotational speed has increased in the last decade to reduce compressor physical dimensions, weight and cost. Cylinder valves and associated gas passages became then more and more critical, as they determine specific consumption and throughput. An advanced approach, based on the new Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) software, which allows to deal simultaneously with thermodynamic, motion and deformation phenomena, was utilized to simulate the complex situation that occurs in a reciprocating compressor cylinder during the motion of the piston. In particular, the pressure loss through valves, ducts and manifolds was investigated. A 3D CFD Model, simulating a cylinder with suction and discharge valves, was developed and experimentally validated. The analysis was performed in transient and turbulent condition, with compressible fluid, utilizing a deformable mesh. The 3D domain simulating the compression chamber was considered variable with the law of motion of the piston and the valve rings mobile according to the fluid dynamic forces acting on them. This procedure is particularly useful for an accurate valve loss evaluation in case of high speed compressors and heavy gases. Also very high pressure cylinders, including LDPE applications, where the ducts are very small and MW close to the water one, can benefit from the new method.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common type of congenital heart disease, occurring in 0.5–2% of the population, where the valve has only two rather than the three normal cusps. Valvular pathologies, such as aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis, are associated with BAVs, thereby increasing the need for a better understanding of BAV kinematics and geometrical characteristics. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the nonfused cusp (NFC) angle in BAV type-1 configuration on the valve's structural and hemodynamic performance. Toward that goal, a parametric fluid–structure interaction (FSI) modeling approach of BAVs is presented. Four FSI models were generated with varying NFC angles between 120 deg and 180 deg. The FSI simulations were based on fully coupled structural and fluid dynamic solvers and corresponded to physiologic values, including the anisotropic hyper-elastic behavior of the tissue. The simulated angles led to different mechanical behavior, such as eccentric jet flow direction with a wider opening shape that was found for the smaller NFC angles, while a narrower opening orifice followed by increased jet flow velocity was observed for the larger NFC angles. Smaller NFC angles led to higher concentrated flow shear stress (FSS) on the NFC during peak systole, while higher maximal principal stresses were found in the raphe region during diastole. The proposed biomechanical models could explain the early failure of BAVs with decreased NFC angles, and suggests that a larger NFC angle is preferable in suture annuloplasty BAV repair surgery.

It is well-known that when slug flow occurs in pipes it may result in damaging the pipe line. Therefore it is important to predict the slug occurrence and its effect. Slug flow regime is unsteady in nature and the pipelines conveying it are indeed susceptible to significant cyclic stresses. In this work, a numerical study has been conducted to investigate the interaction between the slug flow and solid pipe. Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) coupling between 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and 3-D pipeline model code has been developed to assess the stresses on the pipe due to slug flow. Time – dependent stresses results has been analyzed together with the slug characteristic along the pipe. Results revealed that the dynamic behavior of the pipelines is strongly affected by slug parameters. The FSI simulation results show that the maximum stresses occurred close to the pipe supports due to slug flow, where the pipe response to the exerted slug forces is extremely high. These stresses will subsequently cause fatigue damage which is likely reduce the total lifetime of the pipeline. Therefore a careful attention should be made during the design stage of the pipeline to account for these stresses. The system has been investigated under multiple water velocities and constant air velocity, the maximum stress was obtained at the water velocity of 0.505 m/s. Moreover, when the water velocity is increased from 0.502 to 1.003 m/s the maximum stress magnitude is decreased by 1.2% and when it is increased to 1.505 m/s the maximum stress is diminished by 3.6%.
