Modeling bacterial clearance using stochastic-differential equations
Abstract
Capillary - tissue fluid exchange is controlled by the blood pressure in the capillary and the osmotic pressure of blood (pressure of the tissue fluid outside the capillaries). In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to simulate the movement of bacteria into and within a capillary segment. The model is based on Fokker-Planck equation and Navier-Stocks equations that accounts for different boundary conditions. Also, we model the …
