Novel CFD modeling approaches to assessing urine flow in prostatic urethra after transurethral surgery

Abstract Assessment of the pressure and velocity of urine flow for different diameter ratios of prostatic urethra (RPU) after transurethral surgery using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A standardized and idealized two-dimensional CFD model after transurethral surgery (CATS-1st) was developed fo...
