Abstract
Over the past two decades, ultrasound has advanced as a non-invasive drug delivery method. However, cavitation may cause cytoskeletal damage and cell death. This study numerically analyzes a compressible lipid-coated bubble near flexible tissue using Lattice Boltzmann and finite element methods. At 200 and 400 KPa ultrasound pressures, results show increased shear stress, boundary deformation, and bubble dynamics. The elastic boundary raises the bubble's resonance frequency. Shear stress rises from 0.09 to 0.61 KPa and 0.11 to 1.1 KPa during compression and expansion. A multi-pseudo-potential LBM improves cavitation modeling, revealing how proximity to cells intensifies pressure effects.
期刊介绍:
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
