Table 1.
Results obtained for lung acinar airway structure depicted in Fig. 2 with α = 40° and parameters R and r distributed according to Gaussian distributions centered at R0 and r0 with STD of 17% of the mean values [3]. The numbers in parenthesis represent the relative difference (%) between the value found from the fitting analysis and the corresponding input value.
