Influence Of Parenchymal Heterogeneity On Airway-Parenchymal Interdependence

Abstract: To estimate the influence of parenchymal heterogeneities on airway-parenchymal interdependence, we considered a circular airway embedded within elastic parenchyma modeled as 1) a hexagonal spring network, 2) a triangular spring network, or 3) a continuum. The deformation in the parenchyma due to active airway contraction was simulated using the finite element method. Random perturbations of elastic moduli in the parenchyma did not significantly affect the overall pattern of force transmission. By contrast, whe… Show more
