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
Mathematical models are essential in testing alternative hypotheses to explain the concentrating mechanism of the mammalian kidney. The basis features of a central core and two other vasa recta models, as well as efficient modeling techniques are described. It is shown that, by suitable choice of a
