Abstract
Mathematical modeling and computer simulation techniques are being used increasingly in the field of respiratory physiology and medicine. Aspects of the respiratory system to which simulation methods have been applied include, for example, the study of lung mechanics and gas flow in the airways, the investigation of gas-exchange phenomena and the highly complex physiological processes involved in the control of breathing. The objectives, as in many other areas of physiology, may include advancing physiological and clinical knowledge through the development of validated quantitative descriptions, or the development of methods for the indirect estimation of physiological quantities such as airway resistance, or the development of aids for training and education.
