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:

• 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:
• 
• 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.
• Your best friend is going to be the line tool. In spaceclaim, 

Project 2: Gliadel Wafer

Analytical:

• (Very Similar to HW 3, setup ficks law EQ)

Numerical:

• (Cutting geometry using other geometry with Combine, cutting with planes)
• (Inserting the wafer)

Project 3: Hemodialysis

Analytical:

• (Two parts: double parallel flow, Diffusion in three regions using B.C. and explain R = -k*C)

Numerical:

• (3 Regions, Split, share topology, temperature B.C.)
