Simulation of human reactions under extreme conditions.
Lung mass determination in cooperative subjects is possible by computation from the "flow-volume" loop, if total lung resistance (Raw) is known. The model is applicable to tracking changes in weightlessness. Modifications for improving the result are discussed.
