Digital simulation of pulmonary microvascular exchange.
A previously published analog computer simulation of blood to lymph fluid and protein transport in the human lung [Microvascular Research 27, 51-70 (1984)] has been converted to a digital program. Comparisons have been made between the predictions of the two programs for both transient and steady state responses to perturbations. The advantages of each program are discussed. The FORTRAN simulation, including the input and output files are explained. Copies of the program will be made for anyone who wishes to use it.
