PREDICTION OF LOCAL COOLING RATES AND CELL SURVIVAL DURING THE FREEZING OF A CYLINDRICAL SPECIMEN.

Type of article: Article
Summary
A FINITE ELEMENT NUMERICAL MODEL WAS IMPLEMENTED TO SIMULATE THE FREEZING PROCESS OF AN AQUEOUS SALT SOLUTION IN A CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER. CHARACTERISTIC CELL SURVIVAL SIGNATURES WERE USED TO PREDICT THE ASSOCIATED LOCAL SURVIVAL RATES THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. THE CALCULATIONS SHOW THAT THERE ARE TWO DEFINITE TIME DOMAINS: (1) WHILE THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE IS CHANGING ; AND (2)AFTER THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE REACHES A CONSTANT STORAGE VALUE. THEY ALSO SHOW SIGNIFICANT SPATIAL VARIATIONS IN THE LOCAL COOLING RATES AND CONSIDERABLE LOCAL DEVIATION FROM THE VOLUMETRIC AVERAGE SURVIVAL FOR VARIOUS SIMULATED FREEZINGPROTOCOLS.
