Investigating Gastroesophageal Motility: Mechanical Work done during Esophageal Contractility and Fully Resolved Multiphysics Modeling of Gastric Peristalsis

Description:

Normal gastroesophageal motilty is important to live a comfortable and healthy life. Motility disorders result in impaired transport of ingested food which can lead to extreme discomfort and severe damage to the walls of the esophagus. Significant work has been done to study gastroesophageal motility using advanced diagnostic tools such...
