Description
Summary:In this paper, the implementation of the finite element analysis on the investigation of a phenomenon of fluid flow through a detached retina with sclera buckling treatment is elaborated. To analyze the fluid flow, a paradigm mathematical model is developed. The velocity profile and pressure distribution are simulated. Based on the analysis, it is found that the scale effects which arises from difference in size of the sclera buckling do affects the velocity profile in the human eye. It is important to comprehend the effect of the sclera buckling on the dynamics of the vitreous humour in order to improve the sclera buckling treatment on curing retinal detachment.
