Abstract
The elimination of intracranial hematomas has received widespread attention and the interactions between hemolytic agents and hematomas have become a hot research topic. In this study, we used the Navier-Stokes equation to describe the flow control equation for hemolytic agents in a tube and used Fick's law and the Maxwell-Stefan diffusion theory to describe the diffusion and mass transfer of hemolytic agents and hematomas. The physical fields and initial boundary conditions were set according to the parametric properties of the fluid and drainage tube. The COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to simulate the streamline distribution of hemolytic agents in a bifurcated drainage tube. Additionally, the diffusion behaviors of the hemolytic agents into hematomas were simulated and visual analysis of coupled multiphysics was performed to realize the digitization and visualization of engineering fluid problems and contribute to the field of medical engineering.Entities:
