A novel compartmental approach for modeling stomach motility and gastric emptying.

ABSTRACT: The stomach, a central organ in the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract, regulates the processing of ingested food through gastric motility and emptying. Understanding the stomach function is crucial for treating gastric disorders. Experimental studies in this field often face difficulties due to limitations and invasiveness of available techniques and ethical concerns. To counter this, researchers resort to computational and numerical methods. However, existing computational studies often isolate one aspect of the stomach function while neglecting the rest and employ computationally expensive methods. This paper proposes a novel cost-efficient multi-compartmental model, offering a comprehensive insight into gastric function at an organ level, thus presenting a promising alternative. The proposed
