Simulation of Multiphase Flow Systems for Ophtalmic Applications

Overview

The numerical simulation is an important tool to solve two-phase flow problems found in several engineering processes, such as oil drilling, reservoir filling and cooling of electronic components. In medicine, it has been shown an efficient tool for the study of biological problems, such as corneal replacement, the latter of great importance for patients in need of transplant.

Details

It is in this scope that this project retains, for the development and improvement of a two-phase study platform using high level numerical simulations, in order to characterize the dynamics of bubbles in outer layers of the cular body whe the replacement of the cornea is required. Through the Big Bubble technique, where bubbles are inserted into the outer layers of the eyeball to corneal detachment.
