Adrian was asked to discuss his 3^rd year project.

 

Model of the Lung as a pipe network in 3 generations Weibul Model Using Pipes, Frictionless pipe. Measured various comparisons. Altered the rotation angle and ploted various graphs and angles.

 

Simplified model – Geometry will be allot more complicated.

 

Weibul – measured the lung network

 

Discussed how Adrians previous project could be integrated into what we have to do this year.

 

Also recommended using skin friction equations.

 

The Report

 

Dhillon raised queries as to how long the project report would be.

Adrian advised we should look to contribute 6k words each.

 

Web Site

 

Tom gave run through of the site and how to use the reference and Blog pages

 

Clarified the top end of the model ie. The mouth

 

Yongman mentioned it but we discussed the implications of this on the project

 

Also discussed setting pressure boundary conditions

 

Charlie said you can also model a moving trachea (May be too much for us)

 

Good Place To Start

 

GET TO GRIPS WITH THE 2 SOFTWATRE PACKAGES

 

Discussed Roles

 

Charlie – Yongmann, has recommended every to start out with CCM

 

Health Implications

 

Cant give any indication as to generations.

 

Tom mentioned we have contacts within the medical school that are willing to discuss the business implications of this research

 

Also mentioned what the benefits of such a system would be

Show progression during medication

Charlie mentioned how they could use the system to define dosage

 

Adrian is going to ask for a copy from last year
