In this study, we formulated a core mathematical model for describing the one-dimensional lymph flow in lymphatic vessels and branching network of lymphatic vessels. The 1D model was numerically implemented using the 1D haemodynamic modeling tools developed in T.M. Gamilov et al. and S. Simakov et al. [T.M. Gamilov et al., Transl. Med. 6 (2013) 5–13 and S. Simakov et al., Russian J. Numer. Anal. Math. Model. 28 (2013) 485–504]. The formulated model was calibrated using published data on lymph flow dynamics and other modelling studies of lymph flows. The comparison of 0D and 1D formulations of the lymph flow models is presented.
