Aqueous outflow in Schlemm’s canal

A mathematical model is presented for the flow of aqueous humor in Schlemm’s canal in the eye. Schlemm’s canal is modelled as a porous compliant channel that is held open by the trabecular mesh work. The inner wall of canal is porous and aqueous humour percolate through it in the canal. The aqueous humour percolating along the canal segment before reaching a collector channel. The model introduces in a canal-segment between two collector channels as a elliptical cross-sectional and circular cross-sectional tubes. Aqueous fluid pressure and flow profiles in the proposed model are drawn and the effects of important parameter on these profiles are brought out and discussed.
