37. Two-step diffusion in cellular hygroscopic (vascular plant-like) materials

Dr Philippe Coussot (Univ. Paris-Est)

(MS20) Biophysics of living porous media: theory, experiment, modeling and characterization

Oral Presentation

Vascular plants, a vast group including conifers, flowering plants, etc, are made of a cellular hygroscopic structure containing water in the form of either free (i.e. in a standard liquid state) or bound (i.e. absorbed in the cell-walls) water, which makes water transport processes in such materials rather complex [1-2]. From NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) relaxometry and MRI (Magnetic...

75. Reduced-order model to investigate cell-scale hemodynamics through disordered porous networks of the human placenta

(MS20) Biophysics of living porous media: theory, experiment, modeling and characterization

Oral Presentation

The circulatory system in the human placenta consists of the separate maternal and fetal blood flows which are interlaced across a complex multiscale domain of porous regions and capillaries. As imaging techniques improve, we are able to construct representative porous domains, for organs such as the placenta, with a higher degree of accuracy [1]. High-resolution characterization of the human...

181. A porous media flow model for simulating flow of non-Newtoninan bone cement inside a deformable vertebra in the context of vertebroplasty

Mr Zubin Trivedi (University of Stuttgart)

(MS20) Biophysics of living porous media: theory, experiment, modeling and characterization

Oral Presentation

Vertebroplasty is a medical procedure in which a "bone cement" is injected into the porous interior of a damaged or fractured vertebra in order to restore its structural strength. While the procedure is fairly successful and provides near-instant relief, sometimes the bone cement might leak out of the vertebra resulting into complications like pulmonary embolism, paralysis, etc. To mitigate...

559. Multiscale Finite element models with Poromechanics for Myocardial Blood Perfusion

Dr Sumesh Sasidharan (University of Limerick)

01/06/2022, 16:45

(MS20) Biophysics of living porous media: theory, experiment, modeling and characterization

Oral Presentation

Computational cardiac models are promising tools to enhance the design of clinical trials and aid cardiovascular surgeons in decision making during interventional therapies. Multiscale haemodynamic models are gaining popularity to evaluate perfusion in a virtual environment both in healthy and diseased patients. Failure of a heart is usually induced by a mismatch between blood perfusion and...
