Biomedical engineering is a research area in which the College of Engineering at UNLV would like to see a sustained growth. Our faculty has been involved in many related activities over the last decade. The combination of experimental and computational facilities within the college is a basis for future collaboration with other entities in Southern Nevada. We would like to introduce you to some of our researchers. Please feel to contact us if we can help with your projects and initiatives.

Las Vegas is a dynamic city with a population that includes multiple ethnicities and age groups.

Las Vegas has attracted several organizations that are active in medical research including:

UNLV University of Nevada School of Medicine

Nevada Cancer Institute

Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health

In the meantime, multiple entities within UNLV have been active in advancing biomedical research:

UNLV School of Allied Health Sciences

UNLV School of Community Health Sciences

UNLV School of Dental Medicine

UNLV College of Sciences

UNLV College of Engineering

We strongly feel that this is the right time to establish synergy between these entities to advance scientific knowledge and economy of Southern Nevada.

Why UNLV?

Brief description of recent projects

• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies of airflow in a digital reference model of the 17-generation airway (bronchial tree) were accomplished using numerical modeling, based on the anatomical model.

• The lung model consists of 6.744e6 unstructured tetrahedral computational cells. A steady-state airflow rate was used to simulate the transient turbulent flow regime using a large eddy simulation turbulence model.

• It is demonstrated that the nature of the secondary vortical flows, which develop in such asymmetric airways, varies with the specific anatomical characteristics of the branching conduits.
