Bladder
This model simulates a common dynamic test of bladder functionality. The purpose of the model is to estimate the displacement and stresses on the bladder walls during this test.The test consists of subjecting a fluid-filled bladder to a dynamic pulse, more specifically, two short coughs. The pressure in the urethra is monitored during the test. The aim of the test is to draw conclusions about the cause of incontinence and to determine treatment.
One of the main difficulties of the model is the generation of the geometry from the CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) scan images; here COMSOL Multiphysics interface with MATLAB becomes very handy.
