Asymmetric and axisymmetric constant curvature liquid-gas interfaces in pulmonary airways

Airway closure and gas trapping can occur during lung deflation and inflation when fluid menisci form across the lumina of respiratory passageways. Previous analyses of the behavior of liquid in airways have assumed that the airway is completely wetted or that the contact angle of the liquid-gas int...
