SIMULATION OF FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN AN ARTERY ALTERED BY SEGMENTAL MEDIOLYSIS
Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is an asymptomatic, non-atherosclerotic and non-inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It affects medium-sized arteries and is characterized by vacuolization and lysis at the level of the media which can lead to dissection, steno-occlusion, or an aneurysm. In this article, a simulation of fluid-structure inter...

TURBULENT FLOW CONTROL WITH VORTEX GENERATORS AROUND A SYMMETRICAL AIRFOIL AT HIGH ATTACK ANGLES
The flow on the upper surface of NACA 0015 airfoil is subject to an adverse pressure gradient when the incidence increases. This leads to the boundary layer separation which causes losses in the aerodynamic performances. Control using Vortex Generators (VGs) is a simple passive mean used to delay or eliminate the flow separation from the wall. The ...
