Background: Computational fluid dynamics has been adapted to studying nasal
aerodynamics. Aim: To review current literature on CFD studies, with an emphasis on …

Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis was used to model the effect of airway
geometry on internal pressure in the upper airway of three children with obstructive sleep …

This article provides an overview of the basic concepts of computational fluid dynamics, and
a summary of the current capabilities of this technology in the characterisation of nasal …

Many studies suggest limited effectiveness of spray devices for nasal drug delivery due
primarily to high deposition and clearance at the front of the nose. Here, nasal spray …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: In vivo measurements of the intranasal air temperature are
feasible. The present study was designed to reproduce temperature distributions within the …

Abstract Knowledge of airflow characteristics in nasal cavities is essential to understand the
physiology and pathology aspects of nasal breathing. Several studies have utilized physical …

PURPOSE: Radical sinus surgery disturbs intranasal humidification and heating of inspired
air, resulting in reduced air conditioning mainly caused by a disturbed airflow. Therefore, the …

Objective To investigate the aerodynamic consequences of conservative unilateral inferior
turbinate reduction using computational fluid dynamics methods to accomplish detailed …

Results for flow simulations and experiments of different models of the human nasal cavity
with and without turbinates and/or spurs are presented. The flow is investigated for normal …

Heating and humidification of the respiratory air are the main functions of the nasal airways
in addition to cleansing and olfaction. Optimal nasal air conditioning is mandatory for an …
