Fluid flow networks arise in modeling the kidney concentrating mechanism. nc and comprehensive models involve a large n&r of tubes with several solutes in each tube. 'lhe axial and transmural flows are described by nonlinear differential equations. These equations have to be solved numerically. This
The highly structured organization of tubules and blood vessels in the outer medulla of the mammalian kidney is believed to result in preferential interactions among tubules and vessels; such interactions may promote solute cycling and enhance urine concentrating capability. In this study, we formul
