General Advice:

• Divide the work up amongst you: while we want everyone to have experience with the ANSYS portion as well as the analytical, I would highly recommend assigning a couple people to each task, and then reviewing everything as a group when you write your paper and presentation.
• Even though in the homeworks we have usually compared the analytical portion directly to the numerical results by uploading a CSV, this isn't necessarily required for the project. Instead, compare trends like velocity profiles or concentration distributions, and think about how they should match up.
• As always, with any aspects of the project, email me with any questions you might have, and definitely come to office hours if you get the chance!

Project 1: Shear Stress Bioreactor

Analytical:

• (Parallel resistance circuit)
• (Solve for poiselle flow between plates)

Numerical:

• The first step here is to model the bioreactor as current controlled parallel circuit. Using the equation for fluid resistance in a rectangular channel and the known overall flow rate given by the paper. Here is the equation for resistance:
• Image Added
• Once you have done this, you can find the flow rates through each individual channel, and use them to setup your ANSYS and the rest of your analytical steps
• Solve the navier stokes equation for flow between parallel plates under these conditions.
• Lastly, if there is time, try to derive the given equation for resistance in a rectangular channel using the navier stokes equation. Come to me for more help on this.

Numerical:

• For the ANSYS homeworks, we've been using relatively simple geometries. Here, we'll need to do a little bit more. Using the given dimensions from the paper, start by sketching out the geometry from the top down.
