A continuum mechanics-based musculo-mechanical model for esophageal transport
Wenjun Kou, Boyce E. Griffith, John E. Pandolfino +2
In this work, we extend our previous esophageal transport model using an immersed boundary (IB) method with discrete fiber-based structures, to one using a continuum mechanics-base…

A fully resolved active musculo-mechanical model for esophageal transport
Wenjun Kou, Amneet Pal Singh Bhalla, Boyce E. Griffith +3
Esophageal transport is a physiological process that mechanically transports an ingested food bolus from the pharynx to the stomach via the esophagus, a multi-layered muscular tube…
