Our study explores how the structure of meniscal tissue affects fluid flow within it. Using a combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Image Analysis (CFD-IA), the researchers analyse fluid flow in the human meniscus across different inlet velocities. They find correlations between structural parameters like tortuosity and fluid flow properties such as permeability. Notably, at higher velocities, flow paths deviate more from the preferred direction. This research sheds light on how the meniscus structure influences fluid behavior within it.
