This paper presents a one-dimensional model that describes fluid flow in lymphangions, the segments of lymphatic vessels between valves, using quasilinear hyperbolic systems. The model incorporates a phenomenological pressure-cross-sectional area relationship based on existing literature. Numerical solutions of the differential equations align with known results, offering insights into lymphatic flow dynamics. This model enhances the understanding of lymph movement through the lymphatic system, driven by lymphangion contractions.

Abstract

This paper presents a one-dimensional model that describes fluid flow in lymphangions, the segments of lymphatic vessels between valves, using quasilinear hyperbolic systems. The model incorporates a phenomenological pressure-cross-sectional area relationship based on existing literature. Numerical solutions of the differential equations align with known results, offering insights into lymphatic flow dynamics. This model enhances the understanding of lymph movement through the lymphatic system, driven by lymphangion contractions.
