Balloon dilation catheters are often used to quantify the physiological state of peristaltic activity in tubular organs and comment on their ability to propel fluid which is important for healthy human function. To fully understand this systems behavior, we analyzed the effect of a solitary peristaltic wave on a fluid-filled elastic tube with closed ends. A reduced order model that predicts the resulting tube wall deformations, flow velocities and pressure variations is presented. This simplified model is compared with detailed fluid-structure 3D immersed boundary simulations of peristaltic pumping in tube walls made of hyperelastic material. The major dynamics observed in the 3D simulations were also displayed by our 1D model under laminar flow conditions. Using the 1D model, several pumping regimes were investigated and presented in the form of a regime map that summarizes the systems response for a range of physiological conditions. Finally, the amount of work done during a peristaltic event in this configuration was defined and quantified. The variation of elastic energy and work done during pumping was found to have a unique signature for each regime. An extension of the 1D model is applied to enhance patient data collected by the device and find the work done for a typical esophageal peristaltic wave. This detailed characterization of the systems behavior aids in better interpreting the clinical data obtained from dilation catheters. Additionally, the pumping capacity of the esophagus can be quantified for comparative studies between disease groups.

Many engineering and physiological applications deal with situations when a fluid is moving in flexible tubes with elastic walls. In the real-life applications like blood flow, there is often an additional complexity of vorticity being present in the
fluid. We present a theory for the dynamics of interaction of fluids and structures. The equations are derived using the variational principle, with the incompressibility constraint of the fluid giving rise to a pressure-like term. In order to connect this work with the previous literature, we consider the case of inextensible and unshearable tube with a straight centerline. In the absence of vorticity, our model reduces to previous models considered in the literature, yielding the equations of conservation of fluid momentum, wall momentum and the fluid volume. We show that even when the vorticity is present, but is kept at a constant value, the case of an inextensible, unshearable and straight tube with elastics walls carrying a fluid allows an alternative formulation, reducing to a single compact equation for the back-to-labels map instead of three conservation equations. That single equation shows interesting instability in solutions when the vorticity exceeds a certain threshold. Furthermore, the equation in stable regime can be reduced to Boussinesq-type, KdV and Monge-Amp`ere equations equations in several appropriate limits, namely, the first two in the limit of long time and length scales and the third one in the additional limit of the small cross-sectional area. For the unstable regime, we numerical solutions demonstrate the spontaneous appearance of large oscillations in the cross-sectional area.
Over the past few decades, in silico modeling of organ systems has significantly furthered our understanding of their physiology and biomechanical function. In this work, we present a detailed numerical model of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract
that not only accounts for the fiber architecture of the muscle walls, but also the multiphasic components they help transport during normal digestive function. Construction details for 3D models of representative stomach geometry are presented along with a simple strategy for assigning circular and longitudinal muscle fiber orientations for each layer. Based on our previous work that created a fully resolved model of esophageal peristalsis, we extend the same principles to simulate gastric peristalsis by systematically activating muscle fibers embedded in the stomach. Following this, for the first time, we simulate gravity driven bolus emptying into the stomach due to density differences between ingested contents and fluid contents of the stomach. This detailed computational model of the upper gastrointestinal tract provides a foundation on which future models can be based that seek to investigate the biomechanics of acid reflux and probe various strategies for gastric bypass surgeries to address the growing problem of adult obesity.
Many microfluidic devices use macroscopic pressure differentials to overcome viscous friction and generate flows in microchannels. In this work, we investigate how the chemical and geometric properties of the channel walls can drive a net flow by exp
loiting the autophoretic slip flows induced along active walls by local concentration gradients of a solute species. We show that chemical patterning of the wall is not required to generate and control a net flux within the channel, rather channel geometry alone is sufficient. Using numerical simulations, we determine how geometric characteristics of the wall influence channel flow rate, and confirm our results analytically in the asymptotic limit of lubrication theory.
The elasto-inertial effects on particle focusing in a square-tube flow were investigated experimentally and numerically. Microscale experiments using spherical particles in dilute polymer solutions demonstrated that the particles are focused on the m
idline and/or the diagonal in a downstream cross-section, depending on the polymer concentration. Numerical computations based on the FENE-P model for the viscoelastic flow reproduced these focusing patterns. It was revealed that the transitions among the patterns are accounted for by the elastic forces due to the first normal stress difference and the polymer elongation, which are the essentials of the viscoelastic fluid.
We study single-phase and particulate turbulent channel flows, bounded by two incompressible hyper-elastic walls. Different wall elasticities are considered with and without a 10% volume fraction of finite-size rigid spherical particles, while elasti
c walls are modelled as a neo-Hookean material. We report a significant drag increase and an enhancement of the turbulence activity with growing wall elasticity for both single-phase and particulate cases in comparison with the single-phase flow over rigid walls. A drag reduction and a turbulence attenuation is obtained for the particulate cases with highly elastic walls, albeit with respect to the single-phase flow of the same wall elasticity; whereas, an opposite effect of the particles is observed on the flow of the less elastic walls. This is explained by investigating the near-wall turbulence of highly elastic walls, where the strong asymmetry in the magnitude of wall-normal velocity fluctuations (favouring the positive), is found to push the particles towards the channel centre. The particle layer close to the wall is shown to contribute to the turbulence production by increasing the wall-normal velocity fluctuations, while in the absence of this layer, smaller wall deformation and in turn a turbulence attenuation is observed. We further address the effect of the volume fraction at a moderate wall elasticity, by increasing the particle volume fraction up to 20%. Migration of the particles from the interface region is found to be the cause of a further turbulence attenuation, in comparison to the same volume fraction in the case of rigid walls. However, the particle induced stress compensates for the loss of the Reynolds shear stress, thus, resulting in a higher overall drag for the case with elastic walls. The effect of wall-elasticity on the drag is reported to reduce significantly with increasing volume fraction of particles.
