Abstract
This thesis describes a computer simulation of time dependent behavior of electrical analogs modelling compliance and flow resistance in lower left lobes of dog lungs. The time dependent pressure data modelled results from occlusion of the blood flow in excised lobes with controlled perfusion and ventilation. The analogs are extensions of a previously developed, distributed three resistance-two compliance model of pulmonary vessels. The successes and failures of the analogs provide insights into probable behavior of the flexible walled vessels.
