| Popis: |
Starting from a two-scale description involving receptor binding dynamics and a kinetic transport equation for the evolution of the cell density function under velocity reorientations, we deduce macroscopic models for glioma invasion featuring partial differential equations for the mass density and momentum of a population of glioma cells migrating through the anisotropic brain tissue. The proposed first and higher order moment closure methods enable numerical simulations of the kinetic equation. Their performance is then compared to that of the diffusion limit. The approach allows for DTI-based, patient-specific predictions of the tumor extent and its dynamic behavior. |
