Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs), ...

An optimized Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) model with simple scaling rules was developed for simulating entangled linear polyethylene melts. The scaling method, which can be used for mapping ...

The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...

Solitons are quasiparticles that propagate along a non-dissipative wave. Put another way, they are waveforms that hold their shape as they move—like a single wave moving across the surface of a pond.

There are a vast number of modern applications where phase transition or interface plays an important role such as laser annealing and 3D printing. It has long been desired to perform computational ...
