Numerical Simulations of the Internal Fluid Field for Porous Scaffold Used in Tissue Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Models with main-branch channel, crossing channel and net type channel are established and nutrient liquid with a velocity of 0.01m/s is adopted in the study to investigate the fluid field in the channel by using FEA software FLUENT. The velocity and pressure distribution have been obtained in the investigation. By comparing the results in the three models, pressure and velocity distribution in the second and the third models are relatively uniform and are appropriate for the bionics principles. Studies in this paper will be of benefits for the development of tissue engineering.
