Application of a 3D hybrid multi-scale model for simulations of vascular tumour growth

Abstract

Vascular tumour growth can be studied with different modelling methodologies according to the scientific questions that should be answered. The mathemtical models range from systems of ordinary differential equations, to partial differential equations and agent based approaches. While ordinary and partial differential equation models deal with spatially averaged quantities like tumour size and volume fractions, agent based models can discretely resolve cell populations...
