A mathematical model of the human respiratory system is being developed in order to simulate manned diving operations using various types of breathing equipment. A simulation study is presented of a human diving to a depth of 50 m, using a semi-closed re-breathing system with two different oxygen flow settings. A gas supply with 32.5 per cent oxygen concentration results in a safe dive whereas a 60 per cent setting indicates a dangerous diving condition. Typical respiratory model input data are illustrated for the lung, together with dimensional details for the re-breathing counterlung. The simulation results show variations in alveolar and pleural pressures, gas concentrations and partial pressures in the equipment and in the human respiratory system.
