Solute dispersion in a permeable capillary with wall exchange: Darcy flow model (2024)
Journal Article
Kumar, A., Anwar Bég, O., Shaw, S., Mashiku, L. R., & Bég, T. A. (in press). Solute dispersion in a permeable capillary with wall exchange: Darcy flow model. Korea-Australia rheology journal,

Complex chemical reactions and hydrodynamic dispersion feature in many aspects of hemodynamics. Motivated by examining the reactive phase change dispersion in perfusion, a mathematical study is presented for solute dispersion in incompressible lamina...
