A computational model of gas transport in the lung is described which remedies many of the deficiencies of previous models, as listed by Chang and Farhi (1973), in that it allows for fluctuating lung dimensions, gas exchange, simultaneous convection and diffusion, and the enhanced effective diffusion that occurs when convective flow is also present. The results of calculations using the model are presented, showing the maximum effect of Taylor diffusion. The actual magnitude of Taylor diffusion, suitably modified to allow for the disturbed conditions within the lung, is considered in the light of recent experiments.
本文描述了一种肺内气体传输的计算模型,该模型弥补了Chang和Farhi(1973年)所列举的许多先前模型的不足,因为它考虑了肺尺寸的波动、气体交换、同时存在的对流和扩散,以及当存在对流时发生的有效扩散增强。给出了使用该模型的计算结果,显示了泰勒扩散的最大效应。根据最近的实验,考虑了经过适当修正以适应肺内紊乱条件的泰勒扩散的实际大小。
