An overview of recent applications of computational modelling in neonatology
This invited paper formed the foundation for research on novel designs using computational fluid dynamic techniques in the subject area of neonatology. The work formed part of a major EU funded, €2.4m Marie Curie grant (MEST-CT-2005-020327 COFLUIDS), coordinated by the University of Leeds with consortium membership from EU/UK academia, hospitals and industry. The project has provided input to the novel design of new infant warmers and modifications to existing units to minimise heat loss from under-weight infants and maintain constant temperature. This has led to dialogue with equipment suppliers Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (Ali.Borojerdi@fphcare.co.nz) and Hammersmith Hospital (d.azzopardi@imperial.ac.uk).
