Modeling Ureteral Peristalsis
ORAL
Abstract
We investigate ureteral peristalsis through both two-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling frameworks. Our studies explore how wave shape, wall motion, and geometry influence urine transport, offering insights into efficiency, reflux, and clinical relevance. These models aim to support future developments in diagnostic techniques and bio-inspired flow systems.
