Using blunt dissection, the abdominal aorta was isolated from the surrounding nerve and vena cava, and a transonic flow probe (TFP Transonic, Model # PRB3313) was placed as described previously [2, 17].
To test this reconstruction and analysis approach, we developed an animal model that enabled PET-based cardiac function estimates to be validated against a transonic flow meter.
To test this approach, we developed an animal model that enabled simultaneous measurement of cardiac function with a transonic flow meter and PET determination of function using tracer kinetic models which utilizes the sinogram binning.
On the one hand, it is based on a transonic flow approaches to define the starting line on which the supersonic calculations will be initiated.
A second application is to a transonic flow in a two-dimensional converging-diverging nozzle, where the computed results are compared to experimental data.
Flow study data was collected using a Transonic flow meter (Transonic Systems Inc., Ithaca, NY, USA) and Chart 5 PowerLab Software (ADInstruments, Colorado Springs, CO, USA).
The efficiency of the method is assessed on an analytic test case and a classical aerodynamic transonic flow around a 2D profile.
Navier Stokes calculations are presented for a shock/boundary layer interaction, a separated laminar flow, and a transonic turbulent flow over an airfoil.
A theory is proposed of the self-sustaining oscillations of a weak shock on an airfoil in steady, transonic flow.
Different sources of uncertainty in CFD simulations are illustrated by a detailed study of two-dimensional, turbulent, transonic flow in a converging diverging channel.
