How to Represent Respiratory System take Pathology into Account

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper nonlinear phenomenon of respiratory system is analyzed. Airway is partitioned into four parts by different morphology which causes different fluid dynamic character. Reasons that cause nonlinear phenomenon for different parts are given. To simplify the representation corresponding parameters is selected to compromise complicity and precision. Finally the suggested representation of respiratory system is summarized so that the model can be used easily in lung simulator.
