Plots illustrating the relationship between the number of channels and flux in coalescing flow networks. Plot A is based on the schematic network in Figure 1. Plot B illustrates results of numerical modeling with points used in fitting the curve marked in red. Plot C is based on the work of Theodore Wilson (University of Minnesota), who showed that coalescing human bronchial tubes conserve cross-sectional area as well as flux. This is the optimally efficient geometry for respiration.
