Surfactant-Mediated Airway and Acinar Interactions in a Multi-Scale Model of a Healthy Lung

Surfactant-Mediated Airway and Acinar Interactions in a Multi-Scale Model of a Healthy Lung

We present a computational multi-scale model of an adult human lung that combines dynamic surfactant physicochemical interactions and parenchymal tethering between ~16 generations of airways and subtended acini. This model simulates the healthy lung by modeling nonlinear stress distributions from ai...
