Modeling interstitial flow physics in the porous brain cortex — NSF Award to Iowa State University (IA, $319,574)
Interstitial fluid in the spaces between cells in the brain cortex can be driven by ionic waves that induce cell swelling, although the precise flow physics is not understood. Modeling interstitial fluid dynamics is crucial because of its essential role in brain health and neurological disorders. The brain tissue can b

| Abstract | Interstitial fluid in the spaces between cells in the brain cortex can be driven by ionic waves that induce cell swelling, although the precise flow physics is not understood. Modeling interstitial fluid dynamics is crucial because of its essential role in brain health and neurological disorders. The brain tissue can be considered a porous medium consisting of a liquid phase and an absorbent solid phase (cells) that can swell. The overall goal of the project is to develop a swelling-porous media |
