Coupling microscale transport and tissue mechanics: modelling strategies for arterial multiphysics
Chapter
Publication Date:
2017
abstract:
We consider the mathematical modeling of the coupled mechanical-transport problem found in arterial physiopathology. The chapter provides an extensive description of the physiology and the microstructure of the arterial wall and explains how these are coupled to the molecular transport problem. The details of the most recent developments of the mechanistic descriptions of the multi-scale multi-physics are presented.
