Simulation of a Chain of Collapsible Contracting Lymphangions With Progressive Valve Closure

The aim of this investigation was to achieve the first step toward a comprehensive model of the lymphatic system. A numerical model has been constructed of a lymphatic vessel, consisting of a short series chain of contractile segments (lymphangions) and of intersegmental valves. The changing diamete...
