Modeling oxygen transport: development of methods and current state.
Many investigators have contributed to the quantitative understanding of oxygen transport to tissue. Computers continue to improve in speed and architecture thus allowing more sophisticated modeling approaches to be employed. This paper highlights the development of a unique computational strategy, the B-W-K method, that was developed to handle large simulations on small computers. It has proven to be very effective for the solution of large-scale problems in oxygen transport to tissue.
