Neutrophils retain in pulmonary capillaries in normal lungs, causing 40- to 80-fold greater concentration than in systemic large vessels. The highly concentrated neutrophils are thought to be effectively recruited to inflammations, and thus, it is essential to know how neutrophils flow in pulmonary capillaries for the understanding of immune system in lungs. Authors have developed a simple mathematical model to predict the transit time of a neutrophil passing through a capillary segment to investigate the flow characteristics of neutrophils in pulmonary capillary bed. In this research, numerical simulation model is developed to obtain the distribution of transit times of the cells through a capillary network based on the mathematical model obtained in the previous research. This paper introduces the detail of the simulation model and shows an example of the numerical result.
