Simulation of diffusion of glucose from the peritoneum into ascites fluid not containing cells during 3 min.

An experiment by Kemp and Mendel is simulated (58), see Supplementary Text. Tumor cells and metabolism were absent in this simulation. The injected ascites fluid initially contained 167 µM glucose and the time course of glucose concentrations was simulated in sixty three stacked fluid layers with an increment of 10 µm per layer.
