Given that breathing is one of the most fundamental physiological functions, there is an
urgent need to broaden our understanding of the fluid dynamics that governs it. There would …

Aerosol delivery is noninvasive and is effective in much lower doses than required for oral
administration. Currently, there are several types of therapeutic aerosol delivery systems …

Simulation results of microparticle and nanoparticle deposition patterns, local
concentrations, and segmental averages are contrasted for a human upper airway model …

Inhalation of drug aerosols is a modern pathway to combat lung diseases. It is also
becoming the preferred route for insulin delivery, pain management, cancer therapy, and …

The extrathoracic region, including the nasal and oral passages, pharynx, and larynx, is the
entrance to the human respiratory tract and the first line of defense against inhaled air …

The authors state in their preface that this book was designed mainly to assist the practising
clinician, including the pathologist and radiologist, to keep in touch with the changes in the …

This paper presents regional and total deposition measurements in several realistic mouth
and throat geometries and demonstrates the effects of intrasubject and intersubject …

The major problem in understanding the therapeutically targeted drug delivery system in the
deeper airways of the human lung is the lack of adequate data of particle transport and …

Extrathoracic deposition was studied using an idealized average human mouth and throat
replica. Effects of particle size, flow rate and flow Reynolds number were examined using …

Laminar-to-turbulent air flow for typical inhalation modes as well as micro-particle transport
and wall deposition in a representative human oral airway model have been simulated …
