Placenta Previa — 2D Margin Shear-Field Model
2D cross-section model of placenta previa: instead of one scalar shear value, the placental margin is sampled as a curved arc and a shear-stress field is computed pointwise from each sample's true geometric distance to the internal os, driving spatially resolved bleeding.
This is the 2D counterpart to the 3D placenta previa simulator. Rather than moving a placenta through a 3D uterus and reading one shear-stress scalar at its margin, this version treats the margin as a curved rim of a disc and computes each rim point's own true geometric distance to the internal os. Pushing that per-point distance through the same coverage and shear formulas as the 3D model yields a full shear-stress field along the margin instead of a single number: because a disc's curvature means every point away from the single closest one is strictly farther from the os, the field-averaged bleed rate is always at or below the 3D model's single-point estimate for the same edge distance — the field spreads risk across the rim instead of concentrating it all at the one point the 3D model samples, which is the anatomically more realistic picture of a curved placental margin. Spiral-artery inflow on the opposite hemisphere still follows the same Poiseuille r⁴ relation, so the two models can be compared side by side.
