<p>Exercise 3: Analysis of respiratory mechanics model with effect of inertance to gas flow in central airwaysSummary of all simulations</p>
<p>Conclusions: Both inertance-complete model and neglecting-inertance one have quite similar trends at all input frequencies. Emphysema model, instead, has a very different trend, particularly at high frequencies; infact its peak-to-peak amplitude both for air flow and for air volume is smaller as emphysema features outline.</p>
