Wall shear stress distribution in a compliant airway tree
Jonathan Stéphano, Benjamin Mauroy
The airflow in the bronchi applies a shear stress on the bronchial mucus, which can move the mucus. The air--mucus interaction plays an important role in cough and in chest physiot…
Allometric scaling of heat and water exchanges in the mammals' lung
Benjamin Sobac, Cyril Karamaoun, Benoit Haut +1
Mammals have a high metabolism that produces heat proportionally to the power 3/4 of their mass at rest. Any excess of heat has to be dissipated in the surrounding environment to p…
Functional optimization of the arterial network
Baptiste Moreau, Benjamin Mauroy
We build an evolutionary scenario that explains how some crucial physiological constraints in the arterial network of mammals - i.e. hematocrit, vessels diameters and arterial pres…
Following red blood cells in a pulmonary capillary
Benjamin Mauroy
The red blood cells or erythrocytes are biconcave shaped cells and consist mostly in a membrane delimiting a cytosol with a high concentration in hemoglobin. This membrane is highl…
Interplay between geometry and flow distribution in an airway tree
B. Mauroy, M. Filoche, J. S. Andrade +1
Uniform fluid flow distribution in a symmetric volume can be realized through a symmetric branched tree. It is shown here, however, that the flow partitioning can be highly sensiti…
