Journal Article
Dalwadi, M. P., Chapman, S. J., Oliver, J. M., & Waters, S. L. (2018). The effect of weak inertia in rotating high-aspect-ratio vessel bioreactors. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 835, 674-720. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2017.760

One method to grow artificial body tissue is to place a porous scaffold seeded with cells, known as a tissue construct, into a rotating bioreactor filled with a nutrient-rich fluid. The flow within the bioreactor is affected by the movement of the co... Read More about The effect of weak inertia in rotating high-aspect-ratio vessel bioreactors.
