Combined Effects of Electric Field and Magnetic Field on Electro Hydrodynamic Dispersion of Macromolecular Components in Biological Bearing

Abstract:

This paper deals with synovial joints which are characterized by their large degree of motion. In synovial joints, magnetic field in addition to electric field is added to disperse the nutrients from the synovial fluid to cartilage by considering both BJ and BJR conditions. The governing equation of the physical model is solved analytically and computations are carried out for the parameters involved in the system under different boundary conditions. The obtained computational results indicate that a drastic improvement can be found for the efficiency of artificial joints with combined effects of electric and magnetic fields on electrohydrodynamic dispersion of biological bearings.
