Abstract

The problem of airway closure which has been observed in animal lungs was investigated. Surface-tension driven non-axisymmetric instabilties of liquid-lined elastic tubes were probed. Nonlinear shell theory was used to describe the wall deformation of the lungs. Results showed that the airway closure is possible at fluid volumes which are too small to acclude an axisymmetric airway.
