... of the operating parameters, θ 0 , ψ , and β . Changing these values is equivalent to investigating the effect of tube wall stiffness, wave speed, contraction strength, fluid density and flow resistance on the tube wall deformation and internal flow patterns during peristalsis. After studying the system's...

..., was not used in previous studies of peristalsis in living organisms. In the present investigation, a numerical simulation is introduced and solved through ALE formulation to perform the ureteral flow and stress analysis. The incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are used as the governing equations...
