The physical origin of aneurysm growth, dissection, and rupture
Tom Y. Zhao, Jin-Tae Kim, Min Cho +3
Rupture of aortic aneurysms is by far the most fatal heart disease, with a mortality rate exceeding 80%. There are no reliable clinical protocols to predict growth, dissection, and…
Fluid-structure instability forecasts thoracic aortic aneurysm progression
Tom Y. Zhao, Ethan M. I. Johnson, Guy Elisha +5
The basic mechanism driving aneurysm growth is unknown. Currently, clinical diagnosis of an aneurysm is mainly informed by retrospective tracking of its size and growth rate. Howev…
The thermodynamic principle determining the interface temperature during phase change
Tom Y. Zhao, Neelesh A. Patankar
What is the interface temperature during phase transition (for instance, from liquid to vapor)? This question remains fundamentally unresolved. In the modeling of heat transfer pro…
Tetracycline as an inhibitor to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
Tom Y. Zhao, Neelesh A. Patankar
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 remains an extant threat against public health on a global scale. Cell infection begins when the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds with the cell receptor…
The thermo-wetting instability driving Leidenfrost film collapse
Tom Y. Zhao, Neelesh A. Patankar
Above a critical temperature known as the Leidenfrost point (LFP), a heated surface can suspend a liquid droplet above a film of its own vapor. The insulating vapor film can be hig…
