Computer Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Airflow in Monitor Lizards

Caption

Dorsal views of streamlines from the CFD simulation of pulmonary airflow in monitor lizards run on the Blue Waters supercomputer. Red streamlines indicate flow towards the front of the lung, and blue streamlines indicate flow towards the back of the lung. Expiration and late inspiration contain overall similar flow patterns, but early inspiration is different.
