Mathematical modeling of nitric oxide and mucus dynamics in the human lungs, using a phenomenological approach, to provide new insights into asthma and cystic fibrosis.

In this work, the general problematic of the transport phenomena in the lungs is addressed, with applications to lung diseases, in particular asthma and cystic fibrosis. Regarding these two major diseases, the dynamics of the nitric oxide and the mucus layer in the lungs, respectively, are of partic...
