Interstitial Fluid Flow: The Mechanical Environment of Cells and Foundation of Meridians
Using information from the deep dissection, microobservation, and measurement of acupoints in the upper and lower limbs of the human body, we developed a three-dimensional porous medium model to simulate the flow field using FLUENT software and to study the shear stress on the surface of interstitia...
