On reduced-order modeling of drug dispersion in the spinal canal by F. J. Parras-Martos, A. L. Sánchez, C. Martínez-Bazán, W. Coenen, C. Gutiérrez-Montes

“…The comparisons demonstrate that the reduced model is able to describe precisely drug transport, enabling drug-dispersion predictions at a fraction of the computational cost involved in the DNS. Approximate descriptions assuming convective transport to be governed by the mean Eulerian velocity are found to significantly underpredict drug dispersion, highlighting the critical role of mean Lagrangian motion. …”
