Computer simulation of the human breathing process
Stephen P. Tomlinson, D G Tilley, Cliff R. Burrows · IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine · 1994
The following topics are discussed: lung motion and gas flow; model of the nose and mouth; model of the tracheobronchial tree (trachea and respiratory pathways); model of the lung; polynomial representation of lung stiffness; model of pleural compartment; comparison of predicted breathing patterns with experimental data; block diagram analysis of tracheobronchial tree and alveolar and pleural compartments.>
