Trumpet model

This trumpet model was originally introduced by Scherer et al. (141) for simulations of intrapulmonary gas transport and is based on a morphometric data set proposed by Weibel (5). In Weibel s model, the structural parameters of each airway generation are described by average values, so that all airways of a given generation are identical, as are all pathways leading to a specific airway generation. The model is, therefore, termed symmetrical or deterministic. ...
