Abstract Educational Objective: At the conclusion of this article, the readers should be able
to 1) describe the laryngeal findings in patients who use combination therapy for asthma, 2) …

The extra-thoracic mouth–throat area has a major influence on the aerosol delivery to the
proximal or peripheral intra-thoracic airways. To characterize the particle deposition in this …

An inhalation airflow through a simple model of the human larynx and trachea, containing
dispersed drug spray droplets, is studied numerically using the Computational Fluid …

This study presents the effects of adding bypass holes in a dry powder inhaler on aerosol
particle characteristics. A commercially available inhaler device was modified with bypass …

Deposition of a series of monodisperse aerosol injections in 70/30 helium/oxygen (Heliox)
and air for the larynx and trachea was numerically analyzed with Computational Fluid …

A new thrust in the use of CFD techniques for simulation of biological flows has necessitated
the demand for robust grid generation techniques to characterize the complex geometries …

This study presents the effects of mouthpiece designs in carrier-based dry powder inhalation
on aerosol particle characteristics. Simulation models are developed to investigate drug …

During inhaled therapies several factors limits the amount of drug delivered to the lungs. Eg
the upper airways morphology and in particular the glottis, defined by the vocal-fold …

The airborne transmission of diseases is of great concern to the public health community.
The possible spread of infectious disease by aerosols is of particular concern among health …
