The shock wave was induced by a pulsed-laser irradiation. In order to clarify the momentum transport mechanics in this phenomenon, we have been considered the momentum and energy transport from laser to metal, and metal to water. A numerical solution of thermo-elastic wave in metal has been obtained to estimate a fundamental gain of the longitudinal wave. Then, the underwater shock wave phenomena have been analyzed by adapting compressible fluid dynamics with suitable boundary condition between the solid and liquid. We had performed an experiment as well and observed the shock wave with optical system. The aim of the research is to estimate the underwater shock wave strength theoretically. The metal region was calculated by Laplace transformation of heat conduction and wave equations. The water region was simulated by MacCormack’s method. Some of boundary conditions have been examined and the acceleration condition has been adopted at the interface. The simulated results show a good agreement with experimental result, consequently the momentum transfer mechanism from longitudinal wave to underwater shock wave has been cleared in the present report.展开更多

In the present study, both numerical calculation and PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) measurement indicate that, under the application of HFOV (High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation), apparent steady streaming is caused and augmented in distal airways by the continuous oscillation, i.e., the core air moves downwards and the peripheral air evacuates upwards within bronchioles. The net flow of steady streaming serves to overcome the lack of tidal volume in HFOV and delivers fresh air into deeper lung region. Also, numerical calculations reveal that the intensity of steady streaming is mainly influenced by the geometry of airways with provided oscillatory frequency and tidal volume, and it rises with Re and Wo up to a Re of about 124 and Wo of about 5. Steady streaming is considered as an important factor for the ventilation efficiency of HFOV.展开更多

In the present study, the features of gas displacement in the distal bronchioles of a human lung are investigated by both numerical calculation and experimental observation with particle image velocimetry. The effect of respiration frequency is considered, such as high frequency oscillatory ventilation. By comparing the obtained results, it has been found that the redistribution of gas is attributed to irreversible flow, which is remarkable in higher frequencies oscillation with even lower tidal volumes. Owing to the continuous driving, a time-averaged net flow was induced and intensified by the oscillation. Thus, the gas in the centre region penetrated the deeper region and the outer gas was evacuated to the upper region. Consequently, this streaming contributes to prompt gas replacement. Furthermore, we analysed the effect of the respiration wave form to consider the flow acceleration. From this inspection, it was found that the enhanced inertial force tends to encourage the irreversible flow.展开更多
