Airflows in the nasal cavities and oral airways are rather complex, possibly featuring a
transition to turbulent jet-like flow, recirculating flow, Dean's flow, vortical flows, large …

The understanding of complex inhalation and transport processes of pollutant particles
through the human respiratory system is important for investigations into dosimetry and …

Understanding the multitude of factors that control pulmonary deposition is important in
assessing the therapeutic or toxic effects of inhaled particles. The use of increasingly …

Regional deposition effects are important in the pulmonary delivery of drugs intended for the
topical treatment of respiratory ailments. They also play a critical role in the systemic delivery …

A review of research papers is presented, pertinent to computer modeling of airflow as well
as nano-and micron-size particle deposition in pulmonary airway replicas. The key modeling …

The effects of intra-and intersubject variabilities in airway geometry on airflow in the human
lungs are investigated by large eddy simulation. The airway models of two human subjects …

Background Combining in vitro mouth–throat deposition measurements, cascade impactor
data and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, four different inhalers were …

Fluid flow was simulated in a human mouth–throat model under normal breathing conditions
(30l/min) alternatively employing RANS k–ω (without near-wall corrections), DES and LES …

Relying on benchmark experimental data sets for flow in conduits with local constrictions,
LES and three widely used RANS turbulence models, ie the low Reynolds number (LRN) k …

The steady inspiratory flow through an anatomically accurate model of the human airways
was studied experimentally at a regime relevant to deep inspiration for aerosol drug …
