Abstract
This thesis describes a computer simulation method for determining the pulmonary resistance distribution relative to the distribution of compliance in the left lower dog lung lobe. This method is based on the transient arterial pressure curve which results from the transport of a low-viscosity bolus of saline as it passes through the lung lobe. The method further provides a means for determining the longitudinal distribution of intravascular pressures without requiring direct pressure measurements within the lung vessels.
