Electrohydrodynamic Stability of a Cylindrical Jet under an Axial Electric Field
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kebriaee, Azadeh (Supervisor) ; Morad, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to the large application of electro-sprays in various industries, the study of the stability of electro-hydrodynamic flows is important. This thesis examines the stability of cylindrical liquid jets in the presence of an axial electric field. The definition of this jet is a simplified model of electrospray, electrospinning. In this model, the stability of a free incompressible cylindrical flow with surface tensile strength, conductivity, polarization, viscosity, and dielectric constant is determined, irrespective of the solubility of the jet and the surrounding fluid (air), in the presence of uniform axial electric field has taken. This will be done by adding the forces generated by the...
Effects of Blood Pressure on Venous Tortuosity and Valves
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fallah Rajabzadeh, Famida (Supervisor)
Abstract
Blood vessels are subjected to complex mechanical loads, including internal pressure, external pressure, axial stress due to connection to tissues, and the twist caused by movement of the body. The veins and venous valves, which are responsible for returning blood to the heart, become bent and twisted (tortuosity) for various reasons. This venous tortuosity causes valve insufficiency and changes the hemodynamic pattern of blood flow and varicose veins. Studies show that more than a third of old people suffer from varicose veins. These injuries have made it important to study the physical mechanism of venous tortuosity and the function of venous valves.The purpose of this study is to...
