Rheological behaviour and flow dynamics of Vitreous Humour substitutes used in eye surgery during saccadic eye movements
Andreia F. Silva, Francisco Pimenta, Manuel A. Alves +1
This work discusses the rheology of several vitreous humour (VH) substitutes used in eye surgery (perfluorocarbons and silicone oils) and their flow behaviour when subjected to sac…
Extensional rheometry of mobile fluids. Part I: OUBER, an optimized uniaxial and biaxial extensional rheometer
Simon J. Haward, Francisco Pimenta, Stylianos Varchanis +4
We present a numerical optimization of a "6-arm cross-slot" device, yielding several three-dimensional shapes of fluidic channels designed to impose close approximations to ideal u…
Conjugate heat transfer in the unbounded flow of a viscoelastic fluid past a sphere
F. Pimenta, M. A. Alves
This work addresses the conjugate heat transfer of a simplified PTT fluid flowing past an unbounded sphere in the Stokes regime (). The problem is numerically solved wit…
Numerical simulation of electrically-driven flows using OpenFOAM
Francisco Pimenta, Manuel A. Alves
In this work, we study the implementation of electrically-driven flow (EDF) models in the finite-volume framework of . The Poisson-Nernst-Planck model is…
