| Research Abstract |
Ureter stent are detained in a patient with ureterolith. It remained to be clear flow patterns and formation mechanism of ureterolith in ureter stent. In this study, experimental and numerical study was performed about formation of ureterolith in an ureter stent. An experimental apparatus was designed and produced. Then flow pattern and position of ureterolith formation was measured. In addition, numerical simulation under condition of flow rate measured in the experiment in order to clear flow pattern and their comparison.
