The 3D model takes into account the non-symmetry of the device being therefore closer to the exact geometry of the set-up. To check the impact of this new model, results of simulations using the 2D and 3D models are compared against real aspiration experiments %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10255842.2012.713711 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10255842.2012.713711 %8 October %D 2012 %K SoftTissue
