The human nasal passages effectively filter particles from inhaled air. This prevents harmful pollutants from reaching susceptible pulmonary airways, but may leave the nasal mucosa …
The human nasal cavities, each with an effective length of only 10cm, feature a wide array of basic flow phenomena due to their complex geometries. Dependent on such airflow fields …

Knowledge regarding particle deposition processes in the nasal cavity is important in aerosol therapy and inhalation toxicology applications. This paper presents a comparative …
Effective nasal drug delivery is highly dependent on the delivery of drug from the nasal spray device. Atomisation of liquid spray occurs through the internal atomizer that can produce …
The complex nasal structure poses obstacles for efficient nasal drug administration beyond the nasal valve, especially when targeting the olfactory region. This study numerically …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to predict the deposition, dissolution, clearance, and absorption of pharmaceutical …
The nasal epithelium is an important target for drug delivery to the nose and secondary organs such as the brain via the olfactory bulb. For both topical and brain delivery, the …
