Figure Legend:
(a) Average wall shear stress and (b) airway resistance averaged for five different bifurcation angles for inspiration and expiration at the moderate flow rate (Qtrachea = 20 L/min). (c) Average wall shear stress and (d) airway resistance for inspiration at three different flow rates with the bifurcation angle 35 deg. (e) Average wall shear stress and (f) airway resistance for expiration at three different flow rates with the bifurcation angle 35 deg.
