Synopsis

Designed for use in both academic and research environments, this volume addresses applications of computer modelling and fluid dynamics to biological systems. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the important roles that mathematical theory and computer technology play in the medical arena. This text focuses on the respiratory system and includes such topics as morphology of the human extrathoracic airways, the morphology of the lung and stochastic modelling of particle deposition in the human lung.

About this title

Review

..".well written...The opinion of this reviewer is that the reader is provided with a good introduction to some simple mathematical models of the respiratory system and some simple techniques that are used to solve the resulting equations."

Synopsis

Presents applications of computer modeling and fluid dynamics to the respiratory system, particularly the delivery of inhaled aerosol drugs. The 12 chapters describe the morphology of the respiratory system, and the airborne progression of an inhaled therapeutic aerosol. Some of the topics are computational fluid dynamics of the extrathoracic airwa
