Abstract

A novel method to measure the flow rate in a wet gas is presented. Due to the presence of liquid, there is a deviation in the measurement of the gas volume flow rate obtained with standard vortex flow-meters. The proposed method is based on a correction factor determined through the application of an over-reading approach to a bluff body in mist flow. The correction factor is obtained from the slip velocity ratio, i.e., the ratio of droplet velocity to gas velocity, based on the analysis of the fluid velocity distribution in the pipeline section. It also takes into account relevant… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Right ventricular (RV) enlargement and pulmonary valve insufficiency (PI) are well-known, unavoidable long term sequelae encountered by patients who undergo tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) surgery. Despite their lifelong need for cardiac surveillance and occasional re-intervention, there is a paucity of numerical data characterizing blood flows in their pulmonary arteries (PA). Specifically, although PA regurgitation is well-known to be ubiquitously present in adult repaired TOF (rTOF) patients yet, there have been only limited numerical studies to fully characterize this process. The few studies available have utilized idealized, simplistic geometric models or overly simplistic boundary conditions that fail to account for flow… More >
