Finalized mesh of the bioreactor inner chamber. (A) Double static inlet bioreactor design meshed geometry and its magnified cross sectional view of the mesh highlights the inflation layers near the boundaries; (B) Mesh independence study plot of the average lumen wall shear stress at 15 rpm of rotational velocity for the double inlet (blue) and single inlet design (red); (C) Single rotating inlet bioreactor design meshed geometry and its magnified cross-sectional view; Mesh independence plot showing spatial uniformity of particle accretion at the finalized mesh for the (D) single and (E) double inlet designs. (A) and (C) were generated using ANSYS Workbench v19.1 (ANSYS Inc., Cannonsburgh, PA, USA; https://www.ansys.com). (B), (D) and (E) were generated using MATLAB 2018b (Mathworks Inc., Natick, Massachusetts, USA; https://www.mathworks.com/).
