For the prediction of platelet behavior both the flow conditions inside the device and the thrombogenic properties of the blood-contacting surfaces must be considered. Platelet reactions under the influence of well-defined shear rates are experimentally evaluated and numerically simulated. The approach is intended for the analysis of VAD and oxygenator design. Methods Used: A mathematical model of platelet activation, adhesion and aggregation has been implemented into a finite element CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code. The approach is based on the advective and diffusive transport equations for resting and activated platelets and platelet released agonists. Experiments with citrate-anticoagulated freshly-drawn whole blood are performed in a perfusion flow chamber as well as in a system of rotating cylinders for Couette and Taylor-vortex flow. Different biomaterials are used. The activation, adhesion and aggregation are quantified using scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry. Summary of Results: Regions and flow conditions with a high potential for thrombus growth could be identified. The experiments clearly show the influence of the blood contacting material and governing shear rates. Numerical analysis can explain observed adhesion patterns and the degree of thrombus formation}, language = {en} } @article{JansenBehbahaniLaumenetal.2010, author = {Jansen, S.

Previously, we presented computational analysis of the blood pump flow. From the analysis, we were able to identify regions of high shear and recirculating flow that may cause blood damage, for example, deformation and fragmentation of the red blood cell (RBC). This mechanical hemolysis can be predicted using a tensor-based blood damage model that is based on the physical properties of the RBCs, for example, the relaxation time of the RBC membrane. However, an extensive and detailed analysis was complicated by the fact that the previous method predicts hemolysis along a finite number of pathlines traversed by the RBCs, possibly omitting parts of the flow domain. Furthermore, it is computationally expensive and is not easily parallelizable. Here, we propose a new method to estimate hemolysis. The method is based on treating the shape of droplet (tensor) as a field variable, like velocity in the Navier-Stokes system. The governing equation for the RBC shape is treated by least-squares finite element method and the volume conservation of the RBC is augmented by Lagrangian multiplier. Unlike the previous method, the proposed method can visualize areas of high RBC strain that is potentially dangerous for mechanical hemolysis. Also, the amount of plasma-free hemoglobin and, consequently, normalized index of hemolysis can be computed as a byproduct. The method is tested in a simple shear flow for validation and an artery graft flow is chosen to show its potential usefulness. Finally, the method is applied to the blood damage estimation for the pump.}, language = {en} } @article{HenneckeSchwarzboezlHoffschmidtetal.2007, author = {Hennecke, Klaus and Schwarzb{\"o}zl, Peter and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Koll, Gerrit and Beuter, Matthias and Hartz, Thomas}, title = {The solar power tower J{\"u}lich - a solar thermal power plant for test and demonstration of air receiver}, series = {Solar energy and human settlement : Elektronische Ressource : proceedings of ISES world congress 2007 ; (Vol. I - Vol. V) / [ISES Solar World Congress.

Classical heliostat design is dominated by mirrors brought into position by steel structures and drives that guarantee high accuracies under wind loads and thermal stress situations. A large fraction of costs is caused by the stiffness requirements of the steel structure, typically resulting in ~ 20 kg/m² steel per mirror area. The typical cost figure of heliostats (figure mentioned by Solucar at Solar Paces Conference, Seville, 2006) is currently in the area of 150 €/m² caused by the increasing price of the necessary raw materials. An interesting option to reduce costs lies in a heliostat design where all moving parts are protected from wind loads. In this way, drives and mechanical layout may be kept less robust, thereby reducing material input and costs. In order to keep the heliostat at an appropriate size, small mirrors (around 10x10 cm²) have to be used, which are placed in a box with a transparent cover. Innovative drive systems are developed in order to obtain a cost-effective design. A 0,5x0,5 m² demonstration unit will be constructed. Tests of the unit are carried out with a high-precision artificial sun unit that imitates the sun's path with an accuracy of less than 0.5 mrad and creates a beam of parallel light with a divergence of less than 4 mrad.}, language = {en} } @article{Hillgaertner2010, author = {Hillg{\"a}rtner, Michael}, title = {Normative Regulations}, series = {ECPE Cluster Seminar EMC in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles : 18 May 2010, Fraunhofer Institute Erlangen}, journal = {ECPE Cluster Seminar EMC in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles : 18 May 2010, Fraunhofer Institute Erlangen}, publisher = {European Center for Power Electronics}, address = {N{\"u}rnberg}, year = {2010}, language = {en} }
