Research Abstract

We developed a computational fluid dynamics model of gastric mixing. Moving wall condition of antral contraction wave and free-surface condition of gastric gas were given as boundary conditions of the numerical model. We investigated the effects of physiological conditions such as the viscosity and volume of food bolus and the antral contraction wave pattern on the mixing efficiency and fluid stress in the stomach.
