Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Gastrointestinal disorders are among the most common diseases worldwide. An international multicenter study found that over 40% of the global population suffers from functional gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, understanding the physiological state of the intestine is crucial for reducing the burden of related diseases. However, intestinal physiology is complex and variable, with significant variations in intestinal flow patterns across different segments and at different times.
[0003] Numerical simulation, as a method of simulating complex medical phenomena using computer algorithms, is commonly used in the medical field to simulate hemodynamics and biomechanical behavior. Combining intestinal flow field with numerical simulation has become an important supplementary means to study processes such as digestion, absorption, and pH value changes in the intestine. The modeling of intestinal flow field can be significantly achieved through the method of computational fluid dynamics. However, in traditional intestinal flow field numerical simulation research, the impact of simulated intestinal wall movement on intestinal contents is usually limited, or the intestinal wall is set as an immovable rigid body, ignoring the impact of intestinal contents on the intestinal wall, and the simulation results are correspondingly biased.

[0093] In order to better understand this embodiment, this embodiment is further described below.
[0094] The intestinal flow field modeling method based on bidirectional fluid-structure coupling provided in this embodiment can be roughly divided into the following steps:
[0095] 1. Collect multimodal intestinal data.
[0096] Specifically, the intestine consists of the small intestine, large intestine and rectum. The small intestine is the longest part, with an adult's small intestine length of about 6-7 meters, while the large intestine is about 1.5 meters long. The shape of the intestine is tortuous, which helps to mix and move food during the digestion process. The thickness of the intestinal wall varies in different parts. The small intestinal wall is composed of the mucosal layer, submucosa, muscular layer and serosal layer, and is relatively thin; the large intestinal wall is thicker, especially in the colon area. The main intestinal movement modes include peristalsis, segmental contraction and swinging contraction. Peristalsis can produce a net propulsion effect along the direction of the intestine, while the other two movement modes are mainly used to mix the intestinal contents. Intestinal contents include undigested food residues, water, bacteria, digestive juices and gases. Their distribution location, proportion and related characteristics vary with changes in different segments of the intestine, individual physiological state and time stage, showing significant dynamic characteristics.
[0097] The collected multimodal data include geometric parameters, motion characteristics, content statistics and wall stress and strain data of the intestine.
[0098] Among them, intestinal geometric parameters are used to establish a refined three-dimensional intestinal geometric model, including accurate characterization of the degree of curvature, diameter change and segment length; motion characteristic data are used to set the segmented peristalsis form in the simulation, specifically guiding the parameterized definition of contraction cycle, amplitude and propagation rate to improve the biological fit of the simulation model; content statistics are used to construct a content flow model, which simulates actual fluid properties by describing the distribution ratio of different components (such as food residues, water, bacteria, etc.); wall stress and strain data provide support for the definition of intestinal wall material properties, and are used to determine parameters such as Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.
[0099] 2. 3D reconstruction of the real human intestinal geometry model.
[0100] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment uses the colon module of the human body phantom open source database BodyParts3D for analysis.
[0101] 3. Model preprocessing.
[0102] Specifically, it includes intestinal model format conversion and simplified modification. This embodiment uses the SpaceClaim module of Ansys Workbench software to complete the preprocessing, including the following steps:
[0103] (31) Model format conversion: Use the Auto Skin method to achieve the conversion from OBJ file format to CAD solid structure format;
[0104] (32) Model simplification: Simplify the intestinal geometry model through smoothing and shrinking geometric operations;
[0105] (33) Model modification: The inlet and outlet of the intestinal segment are precisely cut by setting the split surface to set the boundary conditions required for simulation analysis. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, inlet is the entrance and outlet is the exit.
[0106] 4. Divide the model into fluid and solid domains and establish a bidirectional fluid-solid coupling model architecture, including:
[0107] (41) Import the preprocessed model into the Design Modeler module, extract the shell, and use the substract operation of the Boolean operation to divide the solid domain (intestinal wall), as shown in the following example: Figure 4 As shown in , the remaining part is preserved as the fluid domain (intestinal content fluid), as Figure 5 shown.
[0108] (42) Figure 6 As shown in Figure 1, the Fluent module and the TransientStructual module are connected through the System Coupling module to perform bidirectional data transmission between the fluid domain and the solid domain.
[0109] 5. Fluid domain simulation settings: simulate multiphase flow contents and set up the fluid simulation model. In this embodiment, this step is completed using the Fluent module of Ansys Workbench software.
[0110] Specifically, the method includes the following steps:
[0111] (51) Import the model processed in step (41) into the Meshing module, suppress the solid domain, select the surface of the fluid domain to name the inlet, outlet, and fluid-solid coupling interface, select the tetrahedron method for meshing, and use Fluent as the solver. The final number of mesh units is 691442, and the mesh unit quality reaches 0.83415. The meshing results of the fluid domain are as follows: Figure 7 shown.
[0112] (52) Define the material properties of multiphase flow contents: In this embodiment, the simulated intestinal contents are set to be incompressible gas-liquid two-phase flow, so the gas phase model is selected as the air model in the module material library, and the material parameters are: density is 1.225 kg / m 3 , the viscosity is 1.7894×10 -5 kg / (m·s), liquid phase selects custom material density and viscosity, density is 1000kg / m 3 , the viscosity is 0.005kg / (m·s).
[0113] (53) Define the fluid simulation model: mainly including the definition of turbulence model and multiphase flow model. This embodiment aims to simulate the colon flow field for a period of time after a meal, so the corresponding flow field model is: the chyme enters the colon cavity filled with air and containing a certain volume of chyme under the peristaltic push. Combined with the fact that the content flow mentioned in step (52) is an incompressible fluid, the multiphase flow model uses the VOF model, with two phases, in which the main phase is set as the gas phase and the secondary phase is set as the liquid phase. The two-phase interaction is set as the surface tension model, and the surface tension coefficient is set as 0.075; due to the low velocity of the intestinal contents, the Reynolds number of the content flow is low, so the turbulence model is selected as the RNG k-ε turbulence model.
[0114] (54) Set initial conditions and boundary conditions: According to the flow field model of this embodiment mentioned in step (53), define the inlet condition as velocity inlet, the inlet enters the liquid phase with a volume fraction of 1, and the velocity is 0.015m / s, simulating the chyme entering the colon under the action of peristalsis; the outlet condition is pressure outlet, and the outlet pressure is 0Pa; set the unit mark area, and initialize the area to the liquid phase with a volume fraction of 1 to simulate the retained chyme at the bottom of the colon before the inlet chyme enters, and the rest of the area is initialized to the gas phase with a volume fraction of 1. After initialization, the gas volume fraction is as follows: Figure 8 shown.
[0115] (55) Dynamic mesh setting: The dynamic mesh method of the fluid-structure coupling interface is defined as system coupling, which is achieved through smoothing and re-meshing. Smoothing refers to a technical method that optimizes the position of mesh nodes during mesh deformation to make the mesh deformation smoother, avoid inappropriate mesh distortion, and maintain mesh quality and geometric structure stability.
[0116] 6. Solid domain simulation settings: Set the intestinal wall material parameters to simulate intestinal movement. This step is completed in this embodiment using the Transient Structual module of Ansys Workbench software. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0117] (61) Define the intestinal wall material properties: In this embodiment, the intestinal material is set as a linear elastic material, and the intestinal wall simulation material is defined by directly setting the material elastic modulus to 10 MPa, the Poisson's ratio to 0.48, and the material density to 2000 kg / m3.
[0118] (62) Import the model processed in step (41), suppress the fluid domain, and name the solid domain as the fluid-solid coupling interface. To simulate the real intestinal wall effect, set the solid domain, i.e. the intestinal wall thickness, to 0.01m, and select the simulation material set in step (61) in the engineering material. Use the triangle method for meshing, the solver is NotlinearMachanical, and the final mesh unit number is 4465, the unit quality is 0.96148, and the solid domain meshing results are as follows: Figure 9 shown.
[0119] (63) Set displacement boundary conditions to simulate the segmental contraction movement of the intestine. According to step (53), this embodiment simulates the flow field and sound field in the colon for a period of time after a meal. For a period of time after a meal, the segmental contraction is active, which can achieve full mixing of the contents and make a huge contribution to the generation of bowel sounds. Therefore, this embodiment simulates segmental contraction with a contraction period of 4s, a contraction wavelength of 0.07m, and a contraction amplitude of 0.001m. In the Transient Mechanical module, displacement boundary condition constraints are imposed on the wall to achieve this. The specific simulation effect is as follows: Figure 10 As shown in the figure, Notlinear Mechanical and Transient Mechanical modules are the corresponding functional modules of Ansys software.
[0120] (64) Set up simple supports to prevent excessive deformation. Figure 11 The simple support constraints shown here apply to appropriate regions of the colon, including the inlet and outlet, the transition between the ascending and transverse colons, and the transition between the transverse and descending colons. These constraints allow rotation but not movement in the selected regions. This simulates the support provided by physiological structures such as the ligament to the intestine, preventing excessive distortion and deformation of the intestinal wall during simulated motion.
[0121] (65) Set up a fluid-solid coupling interface to achieve two-way data transmission.
[0122] 7. Realize bidirectional fluid-solid coupling and simulate intestinal flow field.
[0123] Specifically, the fluid domain transmits pressure data to the solid domain, and the solid domain transmits interface node displacement information to the fluid domain. The end time is set to 4s, the time step is 0.0005s, the minimum number of iterations is 1, and the maximum number of iterations is 5. This realizes the bidirectional fluid-solid coupling simulation and obtains the intestinal flow field simulation results, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown, the velocity vector diagrams of the two-phase fluid interface and the fluid-solid interface are shown respectively.
[0124] In another embodiment, Figure 14 As shown, an intestinal flow field modeling device based on bidirectional fluid-solid coupling is also disclosed, including:
