Airflow limitation in a collapsible model of the human pharynx: physical mechanisms studied with fluid‐structure interaction simulations and experiments
The classical Starling Resistor model has been the paradigm of airway collapse in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for the last 30 years. Its theoretical framework is grounded on the wave‐speed flow limitation (WSFL) theory. Recent observations of negative effort dependence in OSA patients violate the...
