Mechanical Properties of the Respiratory System Derived From Morphologic Insight KU Leuven Ghent University
This paper aims to provide the mechanical parameters of the respiratory airways (resistance, inertance, and compliance) from morphological insight, in order to facilitate the correlations of fractional-order models with pathologic changes. The approach consists of taking into account wall thickness, inner radius, tube length, and tissue structure for each airway level to combine them into a set of equations for modeling the pressure drop, flow, ...
