A viscoelastic traction layer model of mucociliary flow
A new mathematical model of the transport of mucus and periciliary liquid (PCL) in the airways by cilia is presented. Mucus is represented by a linearly viscoelastic fluid, the mat of cilia is modelled as an ‘active porous medium.’ The propulsive effect of the cilia is modelled by a time-dependent f...
