We model bubbles growing within the human body as either bubbles growing in a simple non-Newtonian fluid, or as bubbles embedded in a soft elastic media.
Our models aim to describe and to improve the understanding of the physical phenomena associated with the growth and shrinkage of bubbles within the human body. The bubble dynamics is relevant to Decompression Sickness and other high-risk health issues (such as iatrogenic venous embolism, which occurs as accidental bubble creation due to surgical procedures).
