Abstract
To develop new protective artificial respiration strategies a profound knowledge of the lung functionality is required. Still unknown are the dominating effects on the alveolar level and the exact geometry of the alveolar structure itself. We try to fill this gap with our multi-disciplinary research, where on the one hand we are interested in visualization techniques to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of the alveoli and on the other hand develop a numerical tool to simulate the complex physics at the surfactant enriched liquid-lining layer interface.
