利用基本的守恒定律和淋巴学的现有概念，建立了一个全身淋巴网络的数学模型，该模型模拟了淋巴液从外周沿淋巴网络沿着推进，通过胸导管进入静脉系统。仅考虑主要淋巴管。然后将这组数学方程转化为一系列FORTRAN语句，以便对沿着管网的压力和流量模式进行数字计算机模拟。模型分析揭示了淋巴收缩力在网络沿着各点的有趣特征。
A mathematical model of the whole body lymphatic network, which simulates the lymph propulsion along the network from the periphery through the thoracic duct into the venous system, is developed using the fundamental conservation laws and current notions of lymphology. Only the major lymphatic vessels are considered. The set of mathematical equations are then translated into a series of FORTRAN statements for the purpose of digital computer simulation of the pressure and flow patterns along the network. The model analysis revealed interesting characteristics of lymphatic contractility at various points along the network.
