Mechanistic numerical study of trhombus growth

A computational model of thrombus initiation and aggrandizement was proposed. The model separated the thrombotic process into three mechanisms, including shear enhanced diffusivity, platelet margination, and platelet adhesion. The model indicates that transport mechanisms may be the rate limiting...
