The computational modelling of collecting lymphatic vessels

This thesis details a 1-d model of a lymphatic vessel, developed from a model by Reddy. Some additions to the modelling techniques were found to be necessary to prevent numerical phenomena not found in experiment. Furthermore the details of the wall and valve were important to the mechanics of the s...
