Building a building block: A realistic, ready-to-couple, one-dimensional model of systemic lymph flow.

Coupled mathematical models are used successfully to represent systemic blood flow with different degrees of precision: for example, 3D representations in zones of particular interest (e.g., the aortic bifurcation) are embedded into 1D models who account for systemic blood circulation. When it comes to the lymphatic system, various 1D models for...
