Computational Analysis of Lung and Isolated Airway Bifurcations under Mechanical Ventilation and Normal Breathing

Mechanical ventilation is required for many patients who cannot breathe normally as a result of lung disease and other factors that result in reduced lung function. In this study, we investigated the effects of mechanical ventilation and normal breathing on whole lung geometry as well as isolated bi...
