scuba (version 1.11-1)

saturated.state: Saturated Tissue State

Description

Computes the amount of inert gas in each compartment of a diver who has reached equilibrium with the breathing gas at the specified depth. The default is a fresh diver with no diving history.

Usage

saturated.state(model="D", depth = 0, g = air)

Value

A data frame, with one row for each compartment of the model, and one column for each inert gas in the model (N2 and/or

He). Entries in the data frame are tissue tensions in ata.

Arguments

model

The decompression model. An object of class "hm". Defaults to the DSAT (PADI) model.

depth

The diving depth at which saturation is achieved. A single number.

g

The breathing gas. An object of class "gas".

Details

A Haldane-type decompression model describes the diver's body as a set of independent compartments connected directly to the breathing gas and governed by classical diffusion.

This command computes the amount of inert gas in each compartment of a diver who has reached equilibrium with the breathing gas at the specified depth.

The default is a fresh diver (in equilibrium with air at the surface at sea level).
