Numerical simulation of multi-field coupling in aqueous humor under the condition of dynamic pressure. (English) Zbl 1466.76055

Int. J. Comput. Methods 16, No. 3, Article ID 1842001, 15 p. (2019).
Summary: In order to investigate the aqueous humor flow based on the coupling effects of fluid-solid-heat under different ocular pressure, four models of rabbit eye were constructed and multi-field coupling vs. fluid-solid interaction was compared in these models. ADINA software was applied to mimic the aqueous humor flow. The contour of temperature demonstrates multiple peaks with larger value near the pupil. The flow pattern is influenced mainly by the variation of ocular pressure. It is necessary to perform multi-field coupling simulation based on dynamic pressure measurement when studying the aqueous humor flow in eyes.
