TITLE : PHOENICS IN THE BIO-MEDICAL INDUSTRY : HUMAN LUNG SIMULATION

BY : D.B.Spalding FOR : Technical-discussion meeting DATE : 1987 PHOENICS Version : 1.4

DETAILS :

• Two-Dimensional transient flow
• Moving Body-Fitted-Coordinate system is used

NOTES :

• No attempt is made to represent the shape of the lung realistically

• The animated pictures represent the velocity fields by way of vectors, and the oxygen concentrations by way of colour contours.

Velocity vectors and oxygen-concentration contours

         *    Moving body-fitted coordinates have been       *
         *    available in PHOENICS since 1987.              *

         *    The lung simulation was one of the first uses. *

         *    In PHOENICS-2.2 this feature forms part of     *
         *    the BFC Option.                                *
