| Abstract | Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestines at a mucosal epithelium that covers multitudes of villi, fingerlike protrusions ∽200–400 μm in scale. The villi line the mucosal surface and have been observed to move in response to local stimulation. Luminal contractions (motility) create macro-scale fluid motions that transport nutrient molecules to the epithelium surrounding these moving micro-scale villi. We combine multi-scale modeling with dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the motions of the gut lumen to investigate the hypothesis that gut function requires the coupling of macro-micro scale fluid motions generated by lumen-scale motility with micro-scale motions generated by moving villi. We have developed 2-D models within the lattice-Boltzmann framework with second-order moving boundary conditions for velocity and for passive “nutrient” scalar concentrations. The first model was used to study the relative contributions of macro-scale peristaltic and segmental contractions on transport, mixing and absorption in the intestines. The macro-scale gut motions were quantified from time-resolved MRI of the in vivo rat jejunum using three-dimensional segmentation. The simulations show that segmental and peristaltic motions have disparate roles in fluid motion and nutrient absorption. The gut wall motions were decomposed with principle component analysis and analyzed using topographic space-time representations of deformation. These results suggest that the neurophysiology can produce a wide range of complex contractile patterns by stimulating only a few basic modes with varying phase relationship (MRI) and that absorption is optimized with segmental contraction with peristalsis interfering in absorption (modeling). To analyze the role of the villi in absorption, we designed a second 2-D model that mimics intestinal macro-micro scale flow interactions. Along the lower surface of a lid-driven macro-scale cavity flow we modeled a series of micro-scale “villi” with controlled coordinated motions using a multi-grid lattice-Boltzmann method. We discover the existence of a villi-induced “micro-mixing” layer that couples with the macro-scale motions to enhance absorption and show that a common assumption is incorrect in 2-D. These models have recently been extended to 3-D and will be combined in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
