Mathematical Model of the Effect of Interstitial Fluid Pressure on Angiogenic Behavior in Solid Tumors

Figure 1

Relative pressure and velocity profiles when 𝛼_ℎ=2. Relative IFP is 𝑝̃=𝑝/𝑝_𝑒 and relative IFV is 𝑢̃=𝑢𝑅/(𝐾_𝑡𝑝_𝑒). Legend entries correspond to approximate 𝛼_𝑡 values for normal tissue, normalized, and nonnormalized tumor tissues, respectively. The tumor boundary is at 𝑟̃=1.
