Abstract: A previously developed model of a lymphatic vessel as a chain of lymphangions was investigated to determine whether lymphangions of unequal length reduce pumping relative to a similar chain of equal-length ones. The model ...

Abstract: An existing axisymmetric fluid/structure-interaction (FSI) model of the spinal cord, pia mater, subarachnoid space, and dura mater in the presence of syringomyelia and subarachnoid-space stenosis was modified to include ...

Abstract: The phasic contractions of collecting lymphatic vessels are reduced in strength and occur at diminished frequency when a favorable pressure difference and the resulting antegrade flow create large fluid shear stresses at ...
