Abstract

In this work, a semi-analytical approach presenting a laminar particle-laden flow in curved lumen with permeable walls is developed. In order to illustrate its practical use, the fluid dynamics modeling of a human Juxtamedullary nephron is presented. Close agreement between the calculated values and the medical literature is found. The presented modeling approach provides an essential guide for researchers and designers to rapidly model and analyze the behavior of laminar particle-laden flows in lumen with permeable walls.
