[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-scale simulation method for human lung explosion injury, which can be implemented by a multi-scale simulation device for human lung explosion injury, and the multi-scale simulation device for human lung explosion injury can be a terminal or a server. The processing flow of the multi-scale simulation method for human lung explosion injury can include the following steps:
[0033] S1: Based on the principles of dynamics, a chest wall model is constructed at a macroscopic scale.
[0034] Optionally, the human chest is simplified into a multi-layer composite medium including muscles, chest wall, and lungs in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions, the muscles are equivalent to spring-damper units, the chest wall is equivalent to mass units, and the lungs are equivalent to spring-damper units of viscoelastic porous structures to construct a chest wall model at a macro scale.
[0035] According to the dynamic model of chest wall velocity response and Newton's second law, the chest wall velocity response motion equations are constructed.
[0036] In a possible implementation, the chest wall velocity response motion equation group is specifically:

[0039] In the present invention, by constructing a group of motion equations based on the chest wall velocity response dynamics model and Newton's second law, a systematic mechanical description can be provided, the accuracy and reliability of the model can be improved, complex dynamic behaviors can be captured, numerical solutions and simulations can be facilitated, and multi-directional and multi-level analysis can be supported, providing a basis for personalized protection recommendations and interdisciplinary research. These benefits make this method of great theoretical and practical significance in the prediction of human lung injury under the action of explosion shock waves.
[0040] Optionally, the forward pressure, backward pressure, leftward pressure and rightward pressure generated by the compressible gas in the lungs are specifically:
[0041]
[0042] Among them, p 1w represents the forward pressure generated by the compressible gas in the lungs, p 0 It represents the pressure of the lung cavity when it is not affected by the explosion shock wave, c 0 represents the speed of sound when the lung cavity is not affected by the explosion shock wave, γ represents the gas constant, and p 2w Indicates the backward pressure generated by the compressible gas in the lungs, p 5w Indicates the leftward pressure generated by the compressible gas in the lungs, p 6w Indicates the rightward pressure generated by the compressible gas in the lungs.
[0043] In the present invention, the pressure of the compressible gas in the lungs in all directions is concretized, which can more realistically reflect the stress condition of the lung tissue under the action of the explosion shock wave and ensure that the model results are closer to reality.
[0044] Optionally, the pressure in the front-to-back direction and the pressure in the left-to-right direction of the lung cavity are specifically:
[0045]
[0046] ΔX 12 =X 1 -X2
[0047]
[0048] ΔX 56 =X 5 -X 6
[0049] Among them, p 12 Indicates the pressure in the front and back direction of the lung cavity, p 0 It represents the pressure of the lung cavity when it is not affected by the explosion shock wave, V represents the volume of the lung cavity, ΔV 12 Indicates the volume change of the lung cavity in the front-to-back direction, D 12 Indicates the distance in the front and back direction of the lung cavity, ΔX 12 Indicates the displacement change of lung cavity in the front and back direction, p 56 Indicates the pressure in the left and right directions of the lung cavity, ΔV 56 Indicates the volume change of the lung cavity in the left and right directions, D 56 Indicates the distance from the lung cavity to the left and right, ΔX 56 Indicates the change in displacement of the lung cavity in the left and right directions.
[0050] In the present invention, the dynamic response of the lung cavity under the action of the explosion shock wave can be captured through the embodied pressure calculation, including the instantaneous pressure change and the continuous pressure effect, so as to support dynamic analysis and prediction.
[0051] S2: Based on the Euler-Lagrange fluid-structure interaction algorithm, a microscopic alveolar model is constructed.
[0052] Among them, the Euler-Lagrange fluid-solid coupling algorithm combines the fluid dynamics described by Euler and the solid mechanics described by Lagrange, and realizes the coupling of fluid and solid at the fluid-solid interface through the finite element method (FEM).
[0053] In a possible implementation, S2 specifically includes:
[0054] S201: Construct alveolar geometric model.
[0055] The alveolar geometric model includes: the alveolar wall as a solid part and the air as a fluid part.
[0056] S202: Describe the solid part under the Lagrange framework.
[0057] Optionally, S202 specifically includes:
[0058] In the Lagrange framework, the stress tensor of the solid part is described according to the following formula:
[0059] Ps (ε s )=F(ε s )S(ε s )
[0060] Among them, P s represents the first-order Piola-Kirchhoff solid stress tensor, ε s represents the solid displacement, F represents the deformation gradient, and S represents the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor.
[0061] It should be noted that the Lagrange framework uses the initial configuration as a reference, which means that no matter how large the deformation of the solid is, the quantity described is referenced to the initial state, and can accurately capture and describe nonlinear geometric effects in large deformations, which is especially important for biological structures such as alveolar walls that may undergo significant deformation.
[0062] Optionally, the deformation gradient is specifically:
[0063]
[0064] Where I represents the identity matrix, Represents a gradient operation.
[0065] Optionally, the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is specifically:
[0066] S(ε s )=λ s tr(E(ε s ))I+2μ s E(ε s )
[0067] Among them, λ s represents the Lame constant, tr represents the matrix rank operation, E represents the Green-Lagrange strain tensor, μ s represents the shear modulus.
[0068] Optionally, the Green-Lagrange strain tensor is specified as:
[0069]
[0070] in, T Represents a matrix transpose operation.
[0071] It should be noted that the use of the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor and Green-Lagrange strain tensor can maintain the integrity of material properties. The second Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green-Lagrange strain are closely related to the properties of the alveolar wall itself in a physical sense, especially when describing the behavior of nonlinear objects. This method can better reflect the true stress-strain relationship of the alveolar wall during deformation.
[0072] S203: Preliminary description of the fluid part under the Euler framework.
[0073] Optionally, S203 specifically includes:
[0074] In the Euler framework, the dynamic equation of the fluid part is preliminarily described according to the following formula:
[0075]
[0076] Where u represents the fluid velocity, t represents the time, represents the partial derivative operation, represents the gradient operation, σ represents the fluid stress tensor, and p f Indicates fluid pressure.
[0077] It should be noted that the Euler framework uses the current configuration as a reference, so it is more suitable for describing media such as fluids that have significant deformation and movement. During the flow of a fluid, the relative position and velocity of its various parts will continue to change. The Euler description can directly track and calculate the changes in the velocity field and pressure field of the fluid over time.
[0078] Optionally, the fluid stress tensor is specifically:
[0079]
[0080] Where Re represents the fluid Reynolds number, and T represents the matrix transpose operation.
[0081] S204: Introduce fluid deformation parameters into the fluid part, propagate the solid displacement at the fluid-solid interface into the fluid through the fluid deformation parameters, and describe the fluid part in detail.
[0082] It should be noted that the introduction of fluid deformation parameters enables the fluid part to more accurately reflect the deformation and movement of the solid at the fluid-solid interface. This coupling can capture the effect of solid deformation on fluid flow, thereby improving the accuracy of the simulation.
[0083] Optionally, S204 specifically includes:
[0084] The fluid deformation parameters of the fluid part are introduced to propagate the solid displacement at the fluid-solid interface into the fluid, and to accurately describe the stress tensor of the fluid part:
[0085] P f (ε f )=σ c (u,p f ,ε f )Φ(ε f ) T
[0086] Among them, P f represents the first-order Piola-Kirchhoff fluid stress tensor, ε f represents the fluid deformation parameter, σ c represents the Cauchy stress tensor, u represents the fluid velocity, and p f represents the fluid pressure, Φ represents the deformation, T Represents a matrix transpose operation.
[0087] Optionally, the Cauchy stress tensor is specified as:
[0088]
[0089] Where I represents the identity matrix, Re represents the fluid Reynolds number, and J represents the transformation Jacobian matrix.
[0090] Optionally, the deformation amount is specifically:
[0091]
[0092] It should be noted that for fluid-solid coupling problems with obvious nonlinear deformation, the use of fluid deformation parameters can more naturally handle geometric nonlinear effects. The calculation of deformation and transformation Jacobian matrix enables the fluid part to adapt to the complex geometric changes caused by solid deformation.
[0093] Optionally, the fluid deformation parameters satisfy:
[0094]
[0095] Among them, ε f represents the fluid deformation parameter, Θ represents the extension operator, and the extension operator is specifically the Laplace equation.
[0096] It should be noted that by setting the fluid deformation parameters to meet the above conditions, the volume conservation of the fluid is ensured during the fluid-solid interaction process. Laplace's equation is usually used to describe divergence-free fields, that is, to ensure that the volume of the fluid remains unchanged during the deformation process. This is very important for simulating real fluid behavior, especially when incompressible fluids are involved.
[0097] S205: Through the embedded boundary method, the fluid part and the solid part are coupled to construct an alveolar model at the microscopic scale.
[0098] It should be noted that the embedded boundary method allows accurate simulation of the continuity of physical quantities at the fluid-solid interface. Ensuring the continuity of displacement, velocity, and stress can more accurately describe the interaction between fluid and solid.
[0099] Optionally, S205 specifically includes:
[0100] Through the embedded boundary method, the displacement continuity, velocity continuity and stress continuity are guaranteed on the fluid-solid interface, and the fluid part and the solid part are coupled.
[0101] The displacement continuity is specifically:
[0102] ε f =ε s
[0103] Among them, ε f represents the fluid deformation parameter, ε s Represents the displacement of the solid.
[0104] Speed continuity is as follows:
[0105]
[0106] Where u represents the fluid velocity, represents partial derivative operation, and t represents time.
[0107] The stress continuity is specifically:
[0108] n·P f (ε f )=n·P s (ε s )
[0109] Where n represents the normal vector of the fluid-solid interface, P f represents the first-order Piola-Kirchhoff fluid stress tensor, P s represents the first-order Piola-Kirchhoff solid stress tensor.
[0110] It should be noted that ensuring displacement continuity, velocity continuity and stress continuity can truly reproduce the physical interaction between fluid and solid. At the fluid-solid interface, the interaction between fluid and solid will affect the flow, deformation and force transmission of the material. Maintaining the continuity condition is the basic requirement for simulating these interactions.
[0111] In the present invention, a microscopic alveolar model is constructed based on the Euler-Lagrange fluid-solid coupling algorithm, which can comprehensively and accurately simulate and analyze the mechanical response of the alveoli under different external impacts, reveal the microscopic mechanism of lung injury, and provide important theoretical and technical support for related research and applications.
[0112] S3: Sets the shock wave pressure when the explosion is transmitted to the human body.
[0113] S4: Load the shock wave pressure when the explosion is transmitted to the human body into the chest wall model and solve it to determine the chest wall displacement under the action of the shock wave.
[0114] Optionally, the above chest wall velocity response motion equations are solved by a Newmark-beta algorithm.
[0115] Specifically, the shock wave pressure when the explosion is transmitted to the human body is loaded into the chest wall velocity response motion equation group, and the forward explosion shock wave pressure p at the chest wall position can be determined. f , backward explosion shock wave pressure p b , leftward explosion shock wave pressure p l And the rightward explosion shock wave pressure p r Then, the chest wall velocity response motion equations are used to simultaneously solve the initial As the initial solution of the Newmark-beta algorithm.
[0116] Afterwards, the displacement and velocity of the next time step can be predicted based on the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the current time step:
[0117]
[0118] Among them, X i represents chest wall displacement, i=1,2,5,6, X 1 represents the displacement of the anterior chest wall, X 2 represents the posterior chest wall displacement, X 5 represents the displacement of the left chest wall, X 6 Indicates right chest wall displacement, represents the predicted value of chest wall displacement at time t+1, represents the chest wall displacement at time t, Δt represents the time step, d represents the differential sign, β represents the displacement iteration parameter, and γ represents the velocity iteration parameter.
[0119] The predicted displacement and velocity are substituted into the chest wall velocity response motion equations to solve for the acceleration at the next time step.
[0120] According to the acceleration of the next time step, the displacement and velocity of the next time step are corrected:
[0121]
[0122] in, represents the chest wall displacement at time t+1.
[0123] The above iterative process is repeated to determine the chest wall displacement under the action of the shock wave.
[0124] Among them, the Newmark-beta method is an implicit integration method with unconditional stability. It can maintain numerical stability under larger time steps and avoid numerical divergence during the calculation process.
[0125] In the present invention, the chest wall velocity response motion equations are solved by the Newmark-beta algorithm, which can improve numerical stability and accuracy, adapt to nonlinear and complex systems, capture dynamic responses, provide prediction and correction mechanisms, provide complete mechanical response data, facilitate numerical implementation and expansion, and improve the adaptability and versatility of the model.
[0126] S5: The chest wall displacement is loaded into the alveolar model as the initial condition to analyze the deformation and damage of the human alveoli.
[0127] It should be noted that the displacement of the chest wall has an important influence on the mechanical behavior of the alveoli through the change of intrathoracic pressure and the transmission of the pleura. In numerical simulation, taking the chest wall displacement as the initial condition can effectively capture this indirect mechanical coupling effect, thereby accurately simulating the deformation and mechanical response of the alveoli under different conditions.
[0128] In a possible implementation, S5 specifically includes: loading the chest wall displacement as an initial condition into the alveolar model, and analyzing the deformation and damage of the human alveoli by using the finite element analysis method.
[0129] Among them, finite element analysis is a numerical calculation method used to solve boundary value problems in physics and engineering. It divides a complex continuous domain into a finite number of smaller and simpler units, analyzes each unit, and finally combines the results to solve the response of the entire domain.
[0130] In a possible implementation, S5 specifically includes sub-steps S501 to S506:
[0131] S501: Meshing the alveolar model.
[0132] Optionally, the grid form may be a triangle, a square or a hexagon.
[0133] It should be noted that by constructing an alveolar model at the microscale and performing meshing, the stress and strain distribution in the alveoli can be analyzed in detail. This level of detail analysis can reveal the damage characteristics and possible damage mechanisms of the local area, providing more accurate results than macroscale analysis.
[0134] S502: Discretize the fluid part.
[0135] Optionally, S502 specifically includes: discretizing the fluid part according to the following formula:
[0136]
[0137] Among them, Ω f represents the partial volume of the fluid, represents the gradient operation, σ represents the fluid stress tensor, u represents the fluid velocity, p f Indicates fluid pressure, P f represents the first-order Piola-Kirchhoff fluid stress tensor, ε f represents the fluid deformation parameter, Ψ f represents the fluid test function, d represents the differential operation, Γ represents the fluid-solid interface, : represents the inner product operation, and λ represents the Lagrange multiplier.
[0138] It should be noted that discretization allows complex fluid dynamics equations to be solved on a limited number of computing nodes, which makes it feasible to use computers to solve them, thereby accurately describing the field distribution of fluid velocity, pressure, etc.
[0139] S503: Discretize the solid part.
[0140] Optionally, S503 specifically includes: discretizing the solid part according to the following formula:
[0141]
[0142] Among them, Ω s represents the solid part volume, P s represents the first-order Piola-Kirchhoff solid stress tensor, ε s represents the alveolar wall displacement, Ψ s Represents a solid test function.
[0143] S504: Summarize the stress tensors of each point on the grid and construct a global stress tensor equation group.
[0144] Among them, the global stress tensor equations can reflect the relationship between the stress tensors of each point on the grid. The alveolar model is divided into multiple small grid units (such as triangles, squares or hexagons). At the nodes of each grid unit, local stresses and strains are calculated. The stress tensor is a matrix that describes the distribution of internal forces and reflects the forces in all directions in a specific area. Through mesh discretization, the local equations of fluid and solid have solved the local stress and strain on each grid unit. The goal of the global stress tensor equation is to summarize these local equations through the finite element method to form the stress equilibrium equation of the overall system. In each unit, we get the local stress tensor and the corresponding displacement field. In the finite element method, these local results need to be "assembled" into the global system equations. By summarizing the stress and displacement equations of all grid units, a global stiffness matrix is formed. Once the global stiffness matrix is assembled, the linear equations can be solved by numerical methods (such as iterative solvers or direct solvers) to finally obtain the global displacement field. After the displacement field is obtained, the stress distribution at each grid point in the alveolar is further calculated through the stress-strain relationship.
[0145] By summarizing the stress tensors at each point on the mesh, a global stress tensor equation set for the entire system can be constructed. This helps to accurately reflect the mechanical behavior of the entire alveolar model under the action of external boundary conditions. The solution of the global equation set can capture the stress distribution and deformation characteristics in the entire model.
[0146] S505: Taking the chest wall displacement as the initial condition, deriving the displacement distribution of the alveolar wall, substituting it into the global stress tensor equation group, and solving the global stress tensor equation group to obtain the stress tensor at each location of the alveolar model.
[0147] Using chest wall displacement as the initial condition to derive the displacement distribution of the alveolar wall and substituting it into the global stress tensor equations can make the solution process closer to the actual situation. Such boundary conditions reflect the impact of the external environment on the system and are important inputs for solving the equations and analyzing the system response. By accurately setting these boundary conditions, the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results can be improved.
[0148] Specifically, the chest wall displacement can be used as the initial condition to convert the pressure change in the chest cavity into the stress on the alveolar wall. By solving the equilibrium equation of elastic mechanics and combining appropriate boundary conditions (such as pressure boundary conditions or displacement boundary conditions), the displacement distribution of the alveolar wall can be obtained.
[0149] S506: Analyze the deformation and damage of human alveoli according to the stress tensors at various locations of the alveolar model.
[0150] Optionally, S506 specifically includes:
[0151] The area in the alveolar model where the stress tensor is greater than the preset stress tensor is determined as the damaged area.
[0152] Among them, those skilled in the art can set the size of the preset stress tensor according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not limit this.
[0153] The proportion of the damaged area to the total area is calculated as the damage value:
[0154]
[0155] Where τ represents the damage value, S a represents the area of the damaged area, S tot Indicates the total area.
[0156] According to the damage value, the deformation and damage of human alveoli are analyzed.
[0157] It should be noted that the damage value τ provides a quantitative indicator to evaluate the degree of damage to the alveoli under certain conditions (such as external impact or pressure). A higher damage value means that a larger proportion of the alveolar area is damaged, indicating more serious potential damage. It can reveal the mechanism of lung injury from a microscopic scale, comprehensively and accurately simulate the impact of explosion injury on the lungs, improve the accuracy of lung loss prediction in an explosive environment, and provide a reference for rapid assessment of personnel injuries and treatment and protection.
[0158] The beneficial effects brought about by the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention include at least:
[0159] In the present invention, not only a chest wall model is constructed at a macroscopic scale, but also an alveolar model is constructed at a microscopic scale. The shock wave pressure when the explosion is transmitted to the human body is loaded into the chest wall model and solved to determine the chest wall displacement under the shock wave. The chest wall displacement is then loaded into the alveolar model as an initial condition to analyze the deformation and damage of the human alveoli, reveal the lung injury mechanism from a microscopic scale, comprehensively and accurately simulate the impact of explosion injuries on the lungs, and improve the accuracy of lung loss prediction in an explosive environment, which can provide a reference for rapid assessment of personnel injuries and treatment and protection.
